About:

National Bird follows whistleblowers who, despite possible consequences, are determined to break the silence around one of the most controversial issues of our time: the secret U.S. drone war. The film gives rare insight through the eyes of both survivors and veterans who suffer from PTSD while plagued by guilt over participating in the killing of faceless people in foreign countries.

Presented in partnership with the Institute for Policy Studies and Busboys and Poets. Additional information available at http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/films/national-bird/
