Excerpt
GWEN IFILL (Newshour): Sexual assault within the U.S. military has been the subject of scandals, studies, and a recent congressional hearing. But the topic is thoroughly investigated and dramatically presented in the documentary "The Invisible War," which has been nominated for an Academy Award.
Jeffrey Brown recently talked with its director.
First, a brief excerpt from the film.
SUSAN BURKE, Attorney: What we hear again and again from soldiers who have been raped, what was as bad, if not worse, was to receive professional retaliation in their chosen career merely because they were raped.
THERESA VERDERBER-PHILLIPS, U.S. Army: When you report something, you better be prepared for the repercussions.
CAPT. DEBRA DICKERSON, U.S. Air Force: If a man gets accused of rape, it's a setup. The woman is lying.
