UNMANNED: America's Drone Wars

[polly7]

From an email I got:

Dear AlterNet Reader,

Last week at a screening in New York City, I saw Robert Greenwald's extraordinary new film: Unmanned: America's Drone Wars. There, I met members of a Pakistani family --victims of U.S. drone attacks who were featured in the film. They were brought to the states to testify in front of Congress. Amy Goodman interviewed the family and Robert after the film showed.

I really hope that you will watch this film. It is like nothing you have seen before. And the good news is that you can go right from this eMail -- click here -- to sign up for a free link to watch it. You can watch it with friends and family and you can also send the link so that many others can watch it as well. I hope you will. But, be prepared to feel emotionally wrenched.

Watching Robert's film left me awash with emotion and so angry with our government and their horrible signature strikes – where military personnel sitting thousands miles away blow people up without knowing who they are or what they are doing. This is all explained in great detail in an extraordinary interview of a courageous young man who worked for our government. He tells what it feels like to be a potentially indiscriminate killer by pulling the trigger from afar.

The moving stories of the victims, their families and communities are also powerful. The overwhelming trauma experienced by these communities is profound, as the drones fly overhead 24/7. No one knows when and where they will hit next. Kids are afraid to go to school; people even fear going outdoors.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that watching this film will leave you changed for a long time. Thanks for reading.

Peace,

P.S. An especially good thing about Brave New Films, Greenwald's company, is they know change only comes through mobilized action. So, they are providing an Action Guide for everyone to have the opportunity to make a difference.
