The film has director Robert Greenwald investigating the impact of US drone strikes at home and abroad through more than 70 separate interviews.
One of the people interviewed is Rafiqur Rehman, a primary school teacher from a mountainous region in northeast Pakistan, whose 67-year-old mother was targeted by a drone strike in October, 2012. Two of Rehman's children were also injured in that attack.
Last month, the family related their story to some members of the US Congress on an invitation from Congressman Alan Grayson.

a briiliant piece of work which no Pakistani could dare to do! welldone Jamima and thank you from all the pakistani nation!!
A great and very dedicated work Jemima, your mind-blowing film is going to flow the tears of the whole world.
In the words of the pilot Brandon Bryan, "to kill people and break things" is unfortunately the sacred commandment of all powerful people of todays world.............each in his own way!
Can anybody in Pakistan give up Islam and still loved by TTP, IK and others? Or only a rich Jewish Christian convert is the only exception? Can any scholar please explain what the Islamic verdict on those who leave Islam is? This love for rich and powerful JK would open the doors for many unhappy Muslims who want to convert to other religions. In any laws especially Islamic everybody is treated equal so what do the Muslim scholars say on this topic?
