SYNOPSIS
Drone. Directed by award-winning female director Tonje Hessen Schei, Drone is a profound and at times terrifying insight in to the world of drone warfare, DRONE offers unprecedented access to those with first-hand experience in one of the most controversial practices of modern day conflict.
DRONE 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, the world leaders giving the secret “green light” to engage in the biggest targeted killing program in history, and the people willing to stand up against the violations of civil liberties and fight for transparency, accountability and justice. 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.
