The Invisible War – 7

I can’t say I rate this highly as a film – there was way too much of one woman’s story, for instance, and too much of that was a side issue – but the overall thrust was compelling, so much so that it has already brought change and will, one hopes, bring more. The regularity of sexual assault on women in the armed forces is staggering, but not totally surprising. What is more gravely shocking is the abuse these women receive from the armed forces when they seek help or justice. Sexual predation is always with us, but the need to accept it need not be.
