Synopsis
THE INVISIBLE WAR is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of our country's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within our US military. Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire with the number of assaults in the last decade alone in the hundreds of thousands. Focusing on the powerfully emotional stories of several young women, the film reveals the systemic cover up of the crimes against them and follows their struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. The Invisible War features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm conditions that exist for rape in the military, its history of cover-up, and what can be done to bring about much needed change.─©Official Site

“The intense interviews and damning statistics (20 percent of all female personnel have experienced sexual assault) do the work of whipping up outrage.”—Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

“[THE INVISIBLE WAR]...addresses the shockingly common, profoundly distressing problem of sexual assault in the United States military.... This is not a movie that can be ignored.”—A.O. Scott, New York Times

“[THE INVISIBLE WAR is]...a heartbreaking documentary about sexual violence in the military.... The least we can do is listen, given the fact that their voices have been silenced for so long.”—Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
