2015 is going to be another terrific year for documentary film - we have already been treated to some gems - and Drone is another to watch out for.
Drone
Drone sees Tonje Hessen Schei back in the director's chair for the third documentary project of his career - it comes after the success of Play Again and Independent Intervention.
Drone are a modern and yet controversial way of fighting a war and have split opinion for many years. Drone takes us into that world and offers unprecedented access to those with first-hand experience.
Drone looks set to be in insightful, powerful, thought-provoking, and terrifying documentary and the brand new trailer for the film has arrived:
Drone covers diverse and integral ground: from the recruitment of young pilots at gaming conventions and the re-definition of 'going to war', to the moral stance of engineers behind the technology, the world leaders giving the secret 'green light' to engage in the biggest targeted killing program in history, and the people willing to stand up against the violations of civil liberties and fight for transparency, accountability and justice. This is just the beginning.
In the midst of fast advancement of technology and lagging international legislation, the film shows how drones change wars and possibly our future.
Tonje Hessen Schei is one of the most exciting documentary filmmakers around and I cannot wait to see him delve into and lift this lid on this controversial side of the military.
If you are a documentary film fan, Drone looks set to be one of the films in this genre that is not to be missed in 2015.
