I suppose with investigative documentary film-making, you can name a project a success when the content has been investigated fully, when the process of creation advances the body of knowledge and understanding on the topic, when it is pieced together in a way that is coherent and yet, in a way that keeps you interested, pulls at the heartstrings and tells a fascinating real story. This film is a good investigative documentary. It is good for being the 21st century last resort for exposure on real issues that are ignored by systems in place. The craft is almost secondary but done well enough not to be noticeable or impeding. This is a film people should watch, particularly americans. It is a real eye opener not only from the incidences of sexual assault documented in the US military, but more importantly I feel, the effect this has on the ordinary people who do not deserve it, who literally have their psyches devastated. It is not an easy or fun watch, but an important one. Well put together and illuminating. Much respect to all involved in the project. This film will fill you with anger at the horrendous chauvinism, cultural violence and irresponsibility at the heart of one of american's biggest institutions. We are nowhere in this world without films, books, music that endeavour to improve us like this one does.… Expand

The American military has never been honorable. It's never been safe. This documentary just goes to show that beyond the violence they inflict on those countries they "serve " in is a greater version of the devastation they protect on homeThe American military has never been honorable. It's never been safe. This documentary just goes to show that beyond the violence they inflict on those countries they "serve " in is a greater version of the devastation they protect on home soil. It's a good enough at showing you just how uncaring the military institution really is and how protective it is of abusers within their ranks. The women's story each play as testaments to the unending consequences the militarys apathy had on them. My only gripe with this documentary is how it still fears calling 6out the military entirely for what it's doing,it's self centered and avoids being more explicitly about the dubious nature of it's system, many times over they mention how good the military was or could be as if it's only con I'd rape culture. Also the women it chooses to focus on were similarly white thus removing other important topics that play a part in the difficulty of this problem. The documentary is very bare in terms of its scope.… Expand
