"The
Invisible War" is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one
of America's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape
within the U.S. military. The film paints a startling picture of the
extent of the problem-today, a female soldier in combat zones is more
likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The
Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 19,000 violent
sex crimes in the military in 2010. The Invisible War exposes the
epidemic, breaking open one of the most under-reported stories of our
generation, to the nation and the world.
