About the film

This month we are delighted to welcome Judith Hetherington, Tim’s mother, to introduce his Oscar-nominated documentary, Restrepo, and to take questions afterwards. In January 2020, Judith invited me to curate The Tim Hetherington Film Club in memory of her son who was killed by Gaddafi forces while covering the war in Libya in 2011.  

Tim had a connection to the Jesuits having been educated at Stonyhurst College, a Jesuit school in Lancashire. After studying Classics at Oxford, he went on to be an award-winning photojournalist and filmmaker.

This documentary demonstrates Tim’s work as he records a year on assignment in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley while embedded with a US army platoon. The film intimately observes soldiers as they defend the outpost named ‘Restrepo’ after the platoon medic who was killed earlier in the action.

The directors said that their film does not advocate war but aims to capture the reality of everyday life as a soldier. If you make only one visit to our special film club, I exhort you to see this unforgettable film!
