The Invisible War

2012 has been such an extraordinary year for docs…see my favorites here. And all five Oscar-nominated films are really worthy of the attention.

One of the films is “The Invisible War,” a devastating look at sexual assault in the military. It’s not only a powerful film, but it’s actually changing the way the military deals with the problem.

I had the privilege of speaking with director Kirby Dick and producer Amy Ziering about the film and compling this piece for KCRW’s To The Point. A warning: this story is disturbing and infuriating.

Matt Holzman sees an awful lot of movies - some of them pretty obscure - but only a few are selected for the Matt's Movies Screening Series. So here on the blog, Matt thought he'd share about the best movies he's seen - as well as thoughts about the Business and more. Matt is a KCRW Veteran, the creator of The Business, public radio's program about the business of show business. Early on, Matt’s dad exposed him to great films like “2001,” “Rashoman” and “Bananas.” Ben Holzman, an elementary school principal, was a lover of film in all shapes and sizes, and helped run an art theater in Long Beach, California for a time.
