Documentary: Fear and stress define life under drones

A new documentary, ."Wounds of Waziristan," reveals the story of drones as told by the people who live under them.

"There is an entire generation that has grown up under the eye of the drones," director Madiha Tahir said in a recent interview. "People tell me there are multiple drones that hover during the day, but they tend to usually strike at night. You never know when they are going to strike, and that has created an incredible amount of psychological stress."


And Tahir says many Pakistani civilians resent the United States for that reason. Of all the families she spoke to for the film, "There is not a single one that is for the drone attacks."

"There is no bigger terrorist than Obama or Bush," Karim Khan, whose brother and son were killed in a drone strike, says in the film. "Those who have weaponry like drones, who drop bombs on us while we are in our own homes, there are no greater terrorists than them."
