Since the bow and arrow humans have been distancing themselves from the horrors of war. Now with drones, robots and artificial intelligence, battles are being waged continents away and the decision whether to kill or let live is increasingly out of human hands. The feature-length documentary Battles Beyond the Horizon sets out to wrestle with the questions that arise as a future looms where we may hand over the most precious decision - who should live and who should die - to AI and machines.
