Pakistani students win international award for film on drones
A short film on US drone attacks in Pakistan made by Iqra University students won an international award this week, said a press release.
The film The Other Side was awarded with Best Audience Award at National Film Festival For Talented Youth, Washington. The short film is written and directed by Danish Qasim along with five other team members.
The 20-minute film revolves around the idea of assessing social, psychological and economical affects of drones on the people in tribal areas of Pakistan.
The film identifies the problems faced by families who have become victims of drone missiles, and it unearths the line of action which terrorist groups adopt to use victimised families for their vested interests.

Are the numerous civilian deaths not enough to incur mass protests and legislative opposition to slaughtering wreaked by drones?
Should anyone care about the social, psychological, and economical effects that drones inflict or should all those concerns be disregarded so long as suspected "terrorists" are killed in targeted areas?
