Worth seeing documentary by Al Jazeera's Najibullah Quraishi on drone warfare and its effects in Afghanistan.
As known so far, Afghanistan is the most drone bombed country in the world. Largely ignored by the public, drone strikes are still part of daily life in many parts of the country.
Apart from the fact that the attacks are fueling the country's Taliban insurgency, the psychological effects on the local population are also worth mentioning.
Quraishi explores some of these issues and gives a good overview on what is happening on the ground.
