March 24, 2012 by Realscreen Staff

In addition, 20% of all servicewomen have experienced some sort of sexual trauma while serving. The Invisible War, winner of the audience award for documentary at Sundance this past January, puts faces to such statistics, and sheds light on a system that has made it difficult or impossible for victims to seek justice.
