Jennifer Siebel Newsom: Tell us about The Invisible Wars Sundance and broadcast premieres
Amy Ziering: Were happy to have the privilege to launch The Invisible War at Sundance as its a great platform for social change films. We hope to leverage the press and media attention one gets there to garner attention to this issue. With awareness comes change. We also recently got picked up by ITVS/Independent Lens (woo!) and are excited to be having our US broadcast premiere on public television which seems really the right place for this issue and film.
JSN: What compelled you to make this film?
AZ: The director, Kirby Dick and I, read an article in Salon several years ago about the high incidence of assaults in our military and incredible damage it wreaks on its victims and our troops. We were appalled and shocked. I started doing research and reaching out to assault survivors and the more I learned, the more incensed I became. Kirby and I decided at that point we were going to make a film on this no matter what.
