Set against the backdrop of Argentina's military regime in 1982, "Invisible Eye" tells the story of a young schoolteacher who falls prey to her supervisor's trap of sexual abuse.
The film's plot parallels the historical events in Argentina during the 1980s. In 1982, during the Falklands War, Argentina fought Britain for control of the Falkland Islands under Argentinian dictator Leopoldo Galtieri. Galterieri was later prosecuted for human rights abuses during the war. The man who is the teacher's boss is representative of a dictator who runs the school like his own regime at all costs.
Crossroads Film Society and the Global Film Initiative present "Invisible Eye" during the "Sunday Matinees in May" series at 2:30 p.m. May 15 at Mississippi Public Broadcasting (3825 Ridgewood Road). A discussion about rape and war will follow the screening. Admission is $5. For a complete schedule of films, visit http://www.crossroadsfilmsociety.com.
