Synopsis for The Invisible War:
An award-winning and groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of our country's most shameful and best-kept secrets, The Invisible War reveals the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military.
Today, a female soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. A staggering 20,000 soldiers are estimated to have been assaulted in 2009 alone and the number of military sexual assaults in the last decade is believed to be in the hundreds of thousands.
Tracing the powerfully emotional stories of several young veterans, the film reveals the systemic cover-up of the crimes they have suffered and follows their struggles to rebuild their lives and careers. Featuring hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress, The Invisible War urges us all—civilian and solider alike—to fight for a system that no longer forces our military to choose between speaking up and serving our country.
This screening is sponsored by the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence (OAESV).
