Countries
Duration 29 min
Synopsis
Every year, around 3000 american women soldiers claim to be victim of sexual harassments and rapes. These GI's weren't raped by some afghan or iraki ennemy but by their own colleagues in the platoon. The measures taken by the Pentagon aren't efficient. In this film, victims and their families give their testimony and protest against impunity and silence. Untill now, this subject has been tabou in the USA and in Europe. It is the first long investigation film about this unknown drama.
