Indeed it is anything but a utoian vision when drones targeting humans in Afghanistan and other countries are oerated from a safe distance. National Bird describes the dramatic exeriences of three former Air Force analysts who have decided to break their silence about the secret deloyment of these combat drones. Haunted by the realisation that they might have been resonsible for the death of innocent victims, they are going ublic with their knowledge – regardless of the ossible consequences. These three war veterans all signed u voluntarily for military service – either out of a sense of idealism, hardshi or a feeling of duty. But all that changed as a result of the drone rogramme. National Bird rovides insights into the US drone rogramme as seen through the eyes of veterans and survivors whose stories are connected. At the same time the film asks whether it is ossible for a world to exist other than one in which violence breeds violence. berlinale 2016
