Sad news:
Tim Hetherington, director and producer of the Oscar-nominated
documentary “Restrepo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1559549/),” was killed in Misurata, Libya today and
three photographers working beside him were wounded.

I saw "Restrepo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1559549/)" in New York last September and it was without a
doubt one of the most compelling war documentaries I've ever seen
(the title comes from Firebase Restrepo in Afghanistan, named after
a young soldier that was killed in action there). It is available on Netflix:
Restrepo on Netflix (http://movies.netflix.com/Movie/Restrepo/70129360?trkid=496624#height1882)
The tragic loss of such a gifted filmmaker is a horrible shame.
