The Invisible War

The Invisible War is as compelling as Silence in the House of God, Alex Gibney's study of abusive Catholic priests.

Kirby Dick's typically insightful and compassionate documentary presents a harrowing picture of an epidemic of sexual assault and rape within the US military.

The film works both as advocacy and as a very moving study of women (and one or two men) whose idealism and patriotism have been utterly shattered.

Not just an important film, but one produced at the top of its creators' craft. It's a doc of rich emotion and high stakes that, thanks to its intrepid subjects, has a real chance to make a difference in the lives of future US soldiers.
