Discussion after the movie.
In
Unmanned: America’s Drone Wars,
director
Robert
Greenwald investigates the impact of
U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan and elsewhere.
The
film highlights the stories of 16 year old Tariq Aziz, killed by a
drone in 2011; and school teacher, Rafiq ur Rehamn, whose
mother was killed and children hospitalized due to a drone strike in
2012.
Unmanned includes more than seventy interviews. Prominent among
these are a former American drone operator; Pakistani families of drone victims
who are seeking legal redress; high ranking politicians and some of the
military’s top brass, warning against blowback from the loss of innocent
life.
Co-sponsored by Arlington United for Justice with Peace, WILPF Boston and
