Why My Trip To Pakistan Is So Important

Dear Stephanie -- To get a true sense of a warzone, one must see the world through the residents’ eyes. Thus, to provide an unfiltered view of the impact of US drone strikes there, I am visiting Pakistan, where America’s drone war rages. Our goal is to produce a groundbreaking documentary on this dangerous new frontier of American foreign policy that is littered with too many outstanding legal and moral questions, not to mention the possible ramifications it has for the United States and the rest of the world going forward. Just as I did during my trip to Afghanistan in the process of making Rethink Afghanistan, I want to offer you an opportunity to follow along in my search for the truth. While I am in Pakistan, I will interview many drone-strike victims and key figures – from Pakistani officials in the government and military to legal experts and public health officials – who will provide insight into the on-the-ground realities of the wide-ranging effects of America’s covert drone war. It is imperative this film show the true experience of living under drones. During my trip, I will periodically report back on my observations and experiences. I invite you to follow along in the coming days at warcosts.com, Facebook and Twitter. See my first post of the trip here. Thank you to those who contributed to this trip.
