"EYE IN THE SKY" (UK 2016) 16th March 2017

"THE LONGER YOU WATCH, THE LESS CLEARLY YOU SEE!"

Reels Film Society brings you the politically charged thriller 

When UK intelligence officer Colonel Powell (Helen Mirren) discovers the terrorists she is tracking are planning a deadly suicide attack, her mission escalates.  A drone pilot is poised to engage when suddenly a young girl appears on the scene.  As he risks everything to save her, the impossible decision of when to strike gets passed up the command chain of politicians and lawyers as the seconds tick down. Should an innocent life be sacrificed to save hundreds more?
With a terrific ensemble cast this nail biting journey into the moral and political conundrums of collateral damage and drone warfare, where every decision comes at a steep price.
