“I asked them how many people in the trailer had addiction problems and they said: ‘Everybody. We had three domestic violence problems, we had two drink-driving problems, six people were alcoholics.’ And we’re talking about a group of 12 people in one trailer. And it’s typical, because you hear the same stories from clients in different trailers in different places. It’s the same story. Total dysfunction.” http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/feb/15/sonia-kennebeck-us-air-force-drone-war-home-roost

I appreciate your share of the story. I am just too dumb-struck for words.

Normally people search for movies to watch on IMBD or something, but me... Nah, scrolling through a PTSD forum :P

Might watch this if I find time

@Saelben ((((hugs)))) FYI, it is an article concerning the movie. Kind of unsettling one at that.

However, your wording did allow me to laugh, thanks.:tup:

Where did you find the movie?
I wish to view it if possible.

Just the helicopter-insurgents video, though the movie itself should be up around the place soon also.

I think the movie might not be yet fully available?
