Review by Library Journal Review

Starred Review. Greenwald has made a number of documentaries intended to ruffle feathers in Washington. His latest production investigates the impact that U.S. drone strikes have across the globe. Using firsthand accounts of Pakistani civilians who were injured in drone attacks, Greenwald makes a compelling case against this facet of the war on terror. The testimony of the victims juxtaposed against footage of CIA director John Brennan claiming that "there hasn't been a single collateral death" is quite powerful. The film also examines the effect of drone warfare on those who are at the controls. One of the prominent interviewees is a young air force veteran who is clearly suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the orders he has carried out. VERDICT Greenwald adds another thought-provoking expose to his string of successful films. This production features high-quality video and audio throughout. Not appropriate for young children owing to graphic content. An excellent documentary; highly recommended for general viewers.-Rod Bustos, Georgia Regents Univ. Lib., Augusta (c) Copyright 2015.
