DESCRIPTION:The Invisible War is a film about the all too common, profoundly 
 distressing problem of sexual assault in the American military.  The film 
 gets some of its power from the statistics alone: the military estimates 
 that one in five women and many men in the military has been the victim of 
 sexual assault.  Victims are often discouraged from reporting such crimes 
 because the attackers are their superiors, or those further up the chain 
 either implicitly or even explicitly threaten their jobs and their careers. 
  Reports that are made are often ignored; instead, women are dismissed or 
 even prosecuted themselves.\n\nMany of the victims in this film grew up in 
 military families, with a strong respect for the military and its 
 traditions.  The interviews of the women are remarkable. You will witness 
 their courage, their candor and their struggle to make the military change 
 its manner of handling reports of abuse.  At a time when the military is a 
 crucial source of employment and training for so many aspiring young 
 people, and it is popular to tout "supporting our men and women in 
 uniform," the goals of these victims should be important to us 
 all.\n\nCalled  "haunting" by Time Magazine, "heartbreaking" by The 
 Washington Post, and "unforgettable" by salon.com, The Invisible War was 
 named one of the New York Times' best ten films of the year.  Their review 
 concluded, "This is not a movie that can be ignored."\n\n6:30
