National Bird: Drone Wars

Sociopolitical Documentary with no narration published by PBS broadcasted as part of PBS Independent Lens series in 2016 - English language



Information
------------------------------

From Executive Producers Wim Wenders and Errol Morris, NATIONAL BIRD is the story of three whistle-blowers who break the silence around the secret U.S. drone war, a decision that will change their lives forever.
At the centre of the film are three U.S. military veterans; plagued by guilt over participating in the killing of faceless people in foreign countries, they decide to speak out publicly, despite the possible consequences. Their stories take dramatic turns, leading one of the protagonists to Afghanistan where she learns about a horrendous incident. But her journey also gives hope for peace and redemption.
NATIONAL BIRD gives rare insight into the U.S. drone program through the eyes of veterans and survivors, connecting their stories as never seen before in a documentary. Its images haunt the audience and bring a faraway issue close to home.

A Film by Sonia Kennebeck; A co-production of Ten Forward Films LLC, Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), and the Independent Television Service (ITVS)
