The Invisible War

This documentary film takes a harrowing look at the epidemic of rape in the U.S. Military. The first of its kind, this trailblazing investigation looks to the survivors, family members, and military officials to expose why one in three women in the military are assaulted. No longer to be dismissed as an “occupational hazard”, join us for this screening and panel discussion with leading anti-violence advocates as part of NOW-NYC’s.  Village VII, 66 Third Avenue, at 11th Street, East Village. Running time: 1 hour 37 minutes.
