Not an easy watch but a tribute to journalism as it should be done. Journalist Jeremy Scahill uncovers the existence of a top-secret drone program being run out of the White House. We see the creation of new enemies in far-off lands when people who had nothing to do with terror lose family members. The program comes off as pointless and counterproductive. It's depressing but if more people see it, it can be inspiring. It's fascinating to see some exotic places that we wouldn't usually see, even under the sad circumstances under which we see them.
Scahill is an empathetic, brave reporter and his ability to get to the bottom of a story on a limited budget only further reveals the soullessness of the US mainstream media. His work ethic and commitment to pointing out what's wrong in the world should be required viewing in colleges across the US.
