    Billy Glad Writes On Direct Film 'Restrepo' at MyFDL

    It was filmed in the famous Korengal Valley, where GIs engaged with the Taliban for five long years, and eventually left. 

    Billy says: "Some might say the soldiers and Marines who died there died in vain.  And some might say that the valley is a metaphor for America’s war in Afghanistan, a war that is sure to end in some kind of stalemate, with neither the United Nations nor the Taliban winning a clearcut victory."
