oh yeah yeah the new kind here ok well the joystick. so what are the takeaways here wants as the man behind the film joining me from our studio in los angeles is casey cooper johnson writer and director of the film unmanned casey thanks so much for joining us and i guess the first obvious question that i have to ask you is why did you make this film. well i spent about a decade living overseas in a post-war country in kosovo and during that time i was primarily working on documentaries and current affairs television there and a lot of the issues that we explored in our film work had to do with with themes of war of conflict and of how society coped with. the wars both during the conflict and in the years afterwards. i just recently returned about three years ago to united states to study at the american film institute and i was shocked to realize that the way that we fight wars here at home had shifted so radically during the time i was gone when i first started seeing and reading about. the drone pilots and. the operators who are basic
