''Korengal'' is a 2014 documentary that picks up where the film ''Restrepo'' left off, taking the viewer deeper into soldiers' experiences of war in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan.

Most of the reviews of the documentary have been favorable. ==Background== The documentary uses film footage shot between 2007 and 2008 by photojournalist Tim Hetherington, who died in 2011 while reporting on the Libyan Civil War. Hetherington spent approximately 10 months with 'Battle' Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, U.S. Army at Restrepo outpost.〔 The 2010 documentary ''Restrepo'' was nominated for an Academy Award. After the documentary ''Restrepo'' was made, there was still a considerable amount of film left over. About a year later Sebastian Junger started to work on ''Korengal'', but it was difficult to do without Hetherington. Junger's aim was to create a follow-up documentary that delved deeper into the individual soldier's experiences and emotions of combat.
