Unmanned: America's Drone Wars [2013]


Wikipedia - The film highlights the stories of 16-year-old youth killed by a drone in 2011, and  a school teacher, whose mother was killed and children hospitalized due to a drone strike in 2012. 
Unmanned includes more than seventy interviews. Prominent among these are a former American drone operator, Pakistani families of drone victims who are seeking legal redress, high ranking politicians and some of the military’s top brass, warning against blowback from the loss of innocent life. 
With the intent of humanizing those who have been impacted by US drone policy, Unmanned intersperses these interviews with never-before-seen footage from tribal regions in Pakistan. 
The film claims that covert military drone strikes are often imprecise, and result in creating more enemies for the American people, who have little knowledge of how drone victims are targeted and killed.

In 2036, a civil war between pro-Russian insurgents and local resistances in Ukraine leads the US to deploy peacekeeping forces. During an operation, a team of United States Marines and "Gumps" (robotic soldiers) are ambushed. Disobeying an order, drone pilot 1st Lt. Harp deploys a Hellfire missile in a drone strike against a suspected enemy launcher, killing two Marines but saving 38. As punishment, Harp is sent to Camp Nathaniel, the US base of operations in Ukraine where he is assigned to Captain Leo, a highly advanced and experimental android super-soldier masquerading as a human officer.
