I first saw this film at the 2004 Heartland Film festival in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is a story about Desmond Doss the first conscientious objector to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. His faith and perseverance in the face of overwhelming stresses from both ally and foe, is a lesson to all. It is a must-see for anyone searching for the meaning of faith and love for all mankind.
In these days of hype about war and bravery (or otherwise) it is refreshing to see a story of true heroism; a story that reflects true sacrifice and faith exercised over and over again.
You must see it for yourself and get others to see it! Encourage your bookstores, libraries, and video rental facilities to get copies of this video. Failing that, buy one yourself!!! Many kudos to Terry Benedict for recognizing this great story and bringing it to the screen!
