synopsis
The drone as a remotely operated weapon stealthily attacking from above at just the press of a button symbolizes the war on terror. Proponents perceive the drone as an effective tool for liquidating jihadists, but the film focuses primarily on its opponents. The investigation of one form of deadly technology uncovers an extensive network of functional relationships in contemporary international politics.
