How much do we need to know to care or act? What needs to be in place to make the invisible visible? The third film in the Exposing the Invisible series explores what one can gather from all the available data, evidence and information, challenging the existing narratives of just war, collateral damage and economy of warfare in the case of US-deployed drone strikes in the tribal area of Pakistan (FATA). Using technologies like info-graphics and mapping tools, experts are able to build a comprehensive narrative even when they are looking at the problem from the information periphery and unexpected points of view. The film explores how we can escape the ignorance imposed on us through a carefully sustained lack of accountability and transparency by the main actors of the conflict: the US and Pakistani militaries. How is it possible that such a long running war (it started in 2004) remains invisible? How has it resisted existing legal frameworks and media scrutiny? The main questions behind the film concentrate on two aspects of new technology and media – those in the hands of the military apparatus and those in the hands of investigators and activists. How much has new technology been used to obscure the truth and how much has it helped those looking for answers? How much have activists been able to counter official narratives? Unseen War starts from the short history of the FATA, its relationship to Pakistan and the US, and the use of drone technology to target militants. It features a range of political actors working both inside and outside of Pakistan, who talk about the ways they understand the issue and the efforts being made by journalists, activists and artists to shift power and expose information about what is happening there and why.
