‘Invisible War’ Trailer Promises The Biggest Military Cover Up in History (and It’s Not What You Think)

Fair warning – the trailer for Kirby Dick’s newest documentary The Invisible War is fairly intense. It covers an impossibly difficult subject – the widespread sexual abuse in the US military. The raw number tossed out? 500,000. That’s half a million women sexually assaulted in the armed forces, and as the trailer portends, there isn’t much done to curb the problem.

Hopefully the work is balanced, and hopefully its taken as the honest criticism that it aspires to be.

Inevitably, some will believe Dick is attacking the military, but while it’s a vital part of our nation and comprised of over a million dedicated and honorable citizens, the military is one government institution that demands this kind of keen oversight. Especially on an issue like this.

Check out the trailer for yourself:

The film hits theaters June 22nd.
