For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=66218&bid=2 US drones attacks have killed more than 2000 people. This heartbreaking film bears witness to people in a remote part of Pakistan near the Afghan border whose lives continue to be shattered by the attacks. "This child was killed in an attack too", says a local journalist as he flicks through photos of drone attack victims. Children s faces emerging from his photographs contradict the assertion that drone attacks only target "suspected terrorists". According to the US army, all military-age males in a strike zone are counted as terrorists. This idea upsets Karim, who lost his brother and son in a drone attack. "There is no bigger terrorist than Bush or Obama, who drop bombs on our homes." Meanwhile, with several drones flying low over the villages at a time, the constant fear of bombardment and grief is putting an psychological strain on the survivors. "I feel guilty about being alive", confesses Saddam, who lost his sister-in-law and 1-year old niece in a drone attack. This striking film offers a rare view of the human face of collateral damage.
