Watch The Invisible War Movie Online No Survey 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. -- (C) Official Site Release Date The Invisible War Jun 22, 2012 Limited | |

Review For The Invisible War |
I can hardly wait to see which closet Dick will throw open next. David Edelstein-New York Magazine
A must-see exposé of the abuse of power in an institution that is supposed to serve and protect. Gayle MacDonald-Globe and Mail
I have rarely been more righteously riled up than I was while watching the documentary The Invisible War. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
This travesty has been encouraged by a military culture that blames the victim and a policy directing soldiers to refer complaints to their commanding officer, which typically results in no action or even reprisals against those speaking out. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
One of those documentaries that you watch both fascinated and repulsed - and one of those films that you sense just might be instrumental in helping to change an utterly unacceptable status quo. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
"The Invisible War" makes all too clear that the military isn't very good at justice. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe
That the Pentagon has, since the making of this documentary, revamped its rules to try to improve things - in particular, offering immediate transfers for those who allege abuse - is testimony to the power of Dick's work. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film
This is an enraging film, as it is meant to be, [and] not just because it is a microcosm of rape culture, the collection of pervasive attitudes that rule our society that deny and dismiss men's violence against women. MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher
...an erratically-paced yet often harrowing documentary that shines a light on an important (and under-reported) topic. David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Addressing a rarely discussed social problem, Kirby's shocking docu could function as an agent of real change. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
The film delivers a sledgehammer blow to the audience, with an experience every bit as shattering and overwhelming as one might infer from the subject matter. Nathan Southern-TV Guide's Movie Guide
It's an important, infuriating work. The testimonials from assaulted servicewomen and men should be screened on a loop in recruiting offices around the world. Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto
Interview after interview, statistic after statistic, Dick's advocacy project thoroughly incenses -- and appears to be having results. Melissa Anderson-L.A. Weekly
Let's hope the film causes enough change that we don't have to "discover" such abuses in yet another decade. Chris Knight-National Post
A disquieting investigative essential documentary that sheds light on the massive problem of rape and the systemic cover-ups in the US military. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The Invisible War is a crushing indictment of a system that is way off the rails. Bill Clark-FromTheBalcony
This is one of those documentary films that makes me so angry I could just chew nails. This is because of the awful way the victims of sexual assault are treated by the military establishment. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
makes a compelling case that the military is, as a retired Army general says, "a target-rich environment" for sexual predators. It is a difficult film to watch, but it should be harder to ignore. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
The Invisible War presents 98 minutes of outrage, delineating in painful detail how our country's military has failed so miserably in protecting the women and (in some cases) men who made the choice to serve this nation with courage, pride and dignity. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Even if you do not see this movie yourself, please encourage any young woman you know who is considering enlistment to watch this movie first. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
Kirby Dick has again shown great restraint in presenting such inflammatory material, betting a clear-eyed approach will have an inflammatory effect on his audience -- and it does. Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies
Basically, the message from the military to potential rape victims is: if you get raped, it's your own fault... Mark Bell-Film Threat
