Restrepo: A Conversation with Sebastian Junger

Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington visited Columbia University to discuss their documentary Restrepo, that as you will know, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary. For me, the most important part of their discussion was how they don’t define themselves within one box, “I write”, or “I take photos”, or “I shoot video”. Tim and Sebastian are extraordinary for pushing the boundaries of what defines us as journalists… they both use whatever tools necessary to tell the story. Part I of this series is Sebastian’s path to being a journalist and where the comparisons lie between conflict photographers and soldiers.
