TRIGGER WARNING FOR RAPE

Courtesy The Daily What:

"Movie Trailer of the Day: A female soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan currently is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The number of assaults in the last decade is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.

This epidemic of rape within the U.S. military is exposed in The Invisible War, an “incendiary” new investigative documentary from Academy Award-nominated director Kirby Dick.

Winner of the Audience Award at Sundance, the film is in theaters June 22."

Each year, as you know if you read through this thing, I make a quasi-smart ass birthday list (and Solstice list) of things I want to see/want to see happen.

I’m adding (obviously with complete sincerity) that this movie becomes huge. That it becomes a best-selling documentary. That some serious fucking social change or at least some serious fucking consideration comes from this. Please, please, please.

We owe it to our veterans (and to every rape survivor and their allies) and their families and loved ones to pay attention to this film.
