On October 24 2012, a drone strike hit, killing Rafiq ur Rehman’s 67-year-old mother and injuring his two children. Today, he and his family made history by courageously sharing their heartbreaking story with members of Congress and the American Public.
Unmanned: America’s Drone Wars, the eighth full-length feature documentary from Brave New Foundation, investigates the impact of U.S. drone strikes at home and abroad. I interviewed Rafiq ur Rehman and his remarkable family, capturing the gravity of their loss and providing a window into their lives. Through more than 70 separate interviews, including a former American drone operator, other Pakistani families mourning the loss of loved ones and investigative journalists, this important film decries the ineffectiveness of drone strikes and highlights the unthinkable tragedy that ensues.
