The drones are equipped with "flying cameras" that give the pilot all the visual information he or she needs. They direct and drop bombs with hand gestures. Their actions are broadcasted on the TV show 'Drones,' where the drone attacks are transmitted live. The the protagonist Memo Cruz's father is killed in a drone attack as they are suspected to be terrorist due to Memo's DIY Radio set-up he used to hack into the communications systems of the drones pilots.

Notes
I added verbs and characters because they were missing. I was able to find the film on Youtube (https://youtu.be/aphgPXMH59E). I also added to the situation that Memo hacked to the drone pilot system, and therefore they were suspected for terrorism and his father was killed by the drone pilots, because this is why Memo leaves his village and starts working as a robot (Linda).
