Mainly just leaving this review to set the record straight. Unsurprisingly, this film been jumped on by war-hawks and people who believe women 'don't know what they're talking about' and should stay away from subjects like war. Bigoted reviews notwithstanding, this film is neither pro-insurgent nor one sided.
It's a valuable critique of aerial warfare and tools that have become all too common in war. Tools that are divorced from the reality of the act of killing and make the turning of children into dog-meat a fairly palatable experience for drone-operators (who you will hear laughing on these tapes as they reign hell down on unsuspecting civilians).
Contrary to other reviews of this film, bombing civilians and killing children is not a necessary evil. Approximately 13,247 innocent civilians were killed by the US led coalition in Syria and Iraq, over 2,366 of which were children. There's no excuse for this, and critical documentaries such as this one are a valuable tool to question the implications of the ways we choose to wage war.
A slow burner of a film.
