The documentary leans towards the human catastrophe side of drone strikes. Its mostly about drones making strikes in Waziristan, Pakistan and the demonstrations being made by activists to stop them. There is nothing really new or original about the fact these are CIA controlled operations, acted on by the US airforce and authorised by a US president who received the nobel peace price. I'm more interested in the technology side rather than the politics but this was barely discussed. The documentary uses a lot of simulated or fictional drone video to try and make the narrative interesting.

Very good, tells it like it is, shame on Obama

Nice!
