From Oscar and Emmy nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick comes 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. The film paints a startling picture of the extent of the problem today: a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 19,000 violent sex crimes in the military in 2010. The Invisible War exposes the epidemic, breaking open one of the most under-reported stories of our generation, to the nation and the world. http://invisiblewarmovie.com/ Dr. Richard Gilman-Opalsky hosts a series of events called Political Art and the Public Sphere (PAPS). The idea behind PAPS is to consider how "political art" raises provocative social and political questions, and to engage in discussion with students, faculty and members of the general public. The theme of the Spring 2013 Political Art and the Public Sphere series, Women and War, is dedicated to discussions of ignored, marginalized, misrepresented, and underrepresented social and political questions related to the position of women in war.
