The Invisible War

We’re interested in talking about the new film, THE INVISIBLE WAR. It is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of our country's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within our US military.  A female soldier is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. According to the film's director Kirby Dick, “More than half a million soldiers have been sexually assaulted since World War II...  In many ways, this is one of the most under-reported stories in the country over the last couple of generations.”

What’s the connection between military sexual trauma (MST), cognitive bias, and discrimination?  Come to our upcoming screening to learn more.

 

What a Night!

We had a full-to-capacity crowd at Saint Anthony Main Theatre last night for our screening of the documentary film "Miss Representation."  A note to those who were disappointed that the screening was sold out:  the documentary will be shown on the Oprah Network this evening, and it will also be screened again by The Advocates for Human Rights on November 9 (7:00 p.m. at Metro State -- seats are available on a first-come basis).

Miss Representation Co-Sponsors

We're pleased to announce the following co-sponsors for our Miss Representation screening on Oct. 19th:

  • The White House Project (Allie Arends)
  • The Emily Program (Keri Clifton)
  • The Older Women's League (Janet Asancheyev)
  • New Moon Girl Media (Nancy Gruver)
  • The Humphrey Institute Women & Public Policy Program (Debra Fitzpatrick)
  • OutFront (Phil Duran)
  • Laura Jeffrey Academy (Debra Pridgen).

The individuals indicated will say a few words after the screening about the ways their organization works to right the wrongs highlighted in the film.  Come for the film; stay for the discussion!

Miss Representation a Must See!

I've seen the film and am very impressed.  When I watched the trailer I had my doubts about a fair and just representation, I'm happy to say it was that and more.
