STORY: The film is based on the true story of Private First Class Desmond T. Doss, a decorated WWII soldier who refused to fire a gun. Doss was drafted to fight in WWII, but when he told the board that his religious beliefs wouldn't allow him to carry a weapon, he was told to go home. He refused on moral grounds and, though ostracized and ridiculed by rifle-carrying cohorts, was sent to the South Pacific. There, Doss was credited with saving 75 men during the battle of Okinawa and was awarded the government's highest award, the Medal of Honor. (Posted: July 20, 2015)
