Veterans for Peace, Chapter 159 and Truth in Recruiting/Community Alliance of Lane County presents the film The Invisible War. Military sexual trauma has been the U.S. Military’s dirty little secret, carefully researched and thoughtfully presented in the film. Through veteran stories, exposure of high ranking military and Congressional inaction, this systemic epidemic, which protects perpetrators, is revealed.

Hosts Carol Van Houten (TIR) and Shelley Corteville (VFP 159) have been working to bring public awareness and political change to the military system that allows for and even encourages military sexual trauma.
