The Undrone Upstate walk to Disrupt the Death Squads will begin at Hancock Air Base on October 7, and arrive Niagara Falls Air Base on October 20. The walkers will be in Rochester on October 14. We have several asks. We would like to have an event where the walkers will show the film ‘Good Kill’ and talk about their resistance to drone warfare, which is currently a growing trend in the U.S. Airforce.
Here's my review of the film:
The film is a grueling, repetitive view of the drone pilot as executioner, with collateral damage an added burden. The executioners are ground up in this repetition of daily murder, with medial scenes of fragmenting family life and furtive trips to Las Vegas for alcohol, found in dark corners of a glittering castle of glass and tinsel.
Very powerful, not at all didactic - unusually framed by current standards. Truly an ‘indy’ film. We sit with the pilots day in and day out in their trailer staring at a world across the planet, preparing to kill, killing on command, with each kill another blow to their humanity.

The walkers also need a place to stay that night. We are wondering if they could crash at the Squirrel. We will provide food for them. I was hoping for the second floor because it is easier to see a screen as a group. Please let me know what you can do with these asks.
