Since the bow and arrow humans have been distancing themselves from the horrors of war. Now with drones, robots and artificial intelligence, battles are waged continents away and the decision whether to kill or let live is increasingly out of human hands.

BATTLES BEYOND THE HORIZON is a feature-length documentary film by Kari Barber set in the Nevada desert and across the world featuring interviews with top experts on the ethics of war. The film follows protestors at Creech Air Force Base near Las Vegas as they face arrest and trial while weaving in the history of the U.S. drone program across four presidencies as we march forward into a world where eventually artificial intelligence may make the decision to kill and robots will carry out those orders.
