DRONE

(Dir. Tonje Hessen Schei, Norway, 80 min.)
Inside the secret CIA drone war. Intimate stories from the war on terror. People
living under drones in Pakistan and drone pilots struggling with killing through
joysticks in the U.S.
The film covers diverse and integral ground, from the recruitment of young pilots
at gaming conventions and the re-definition of “going to war,” to the moral stance
of engineers behind the technology, to world leaders giving the secret “green
light” to engage in the biggest targeted killing program in history, to the people
willing to stand up for civil liberties and accountability.
This is just the beginning. In the midst of fast advancement of technology and
lagging international legislation, the film shows how drones change wars--and
possibly our future.
