The film, nominated for a 2013 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, presents story after story of former servicewomen and men across all branches of the military who say they were sexually assaulted by a fellow service member during their time of service. The film describes a climate in the military that, in the words of one victim, is designed to help women better deal with the inevitability of getting raped.

AAUW, through out Legal Advocay Fund, supports three cases related to military sexual harrassment. Please plan to come see the film and learn more about this timely issue. Check out their website.
