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.

Sponsored by *Eastern Massachusetts Anti-Drones Network* and co-sponsored
by Arlington United for Justice with Peace, Women’s International League
for Peace and Freedom – Boston, and Veterans For Peace - Smedley Butler
Brigade.
