"We are always told the armed forces will be our protection but this film shows that these people who protect us need as much probably even more protection then us from these evil people who never get punished"
The Air Force, Army and Navy are created in order to defend and protect a nation but the men who run these organisations are very corrupt especially when it comes to reports from women and sometimes men who say they were rapped. The film focus's in on specific women/men who have reported rape but there are many more reported as the film does say to inform the viewer that there are some horrible men out there who never take responsibility for their actions.
There are always two sides to every story I always say and this film presents us with the victim side of the story which most of the time is never believed and in some of these cases the accusation should almost be believed but is not. The film does present the side of the victim only because that is the aim of the film, they want us to feel sympathy towards these victims making the sexual assaulter's almost pure evil which in some of these cases they should be called. The film does speak to some high ranking people who see the justice system of the armed forces as being not as good as it could be especially when dealing with some of these cases. I always feel sympathy towards women who have been raped and it was hard to watch because I believed nearly every accusation because women would never want to lie about getting assaulted.
The main victims in the film are the ones that I believed the most because they seemed very shaken by the act. Kori Cioca seemed to start and end the story of the film as we saw her struggle with her injury but also have problems at home with her husband it seemed. Also i felt sorry for her because of how her story seemed too detail to be untrue which made me really want that person responsible for her assault to get charged somehow. All the stories were hard to hear and the film was smart to not just focus on women's problems but also in small scenes with men who were assaulted.
The film was great in showing us the inner war of these organisations and how more needs to be done when fixing the many problems that there are.
MOVIE GRADE: B
