Desensitization / Dehumanization

Overview

By using both real and simulated drone and helicopter gunsight footage this film creates a composite montage that blurs the lines between what is real and what is fake and the way in which soldiers have become desensitized and detached to the reality of the combat they are engaging in - as if they are in a videogame - but also how people in general have become desensitized to images of death and violence and the dehumanisation it can and does lead to.
