This week news broke of a controversial ‘slap on the wrist’ penalty for a general accused of sexual assault. Next Monday evening, March 24 at 7-9:30 p.m., the Wilton League of Women Voters and Wilton Library will present the topical The Invisible War, a groundbreaking, investigative documentary about one of America’s most shameful and best-kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military.
Profoundly moving, the film follows the stories of several idealistic young servicewomen who were raped and then betrayed by their own officers when they courageously came forward to report. The film is so powerful it has already helped change military policy.
The Invisible War is the third film in this season’s series of provocative documentaries. Refreshments will be served, and there is no charge, although donations are welcome. The series is co-sponsored by the Wilton League of Women Voters and Wilton Library.
Wilton Library is located at 137 Old Ridgefield Rd.
