Drones have played a central role in the U.S. efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. But as the film "Good Kill" shows, the use of drones takes its toll on those who operate them. Here & Now's Meghna Chakrabarti talked with "Good Kill" writer, director and producer Andrew Niccol back in May. As the film comes out on DVD, we revisit that conversation.
