 | A timely documentary that sheds light on a previously ignored part of the World War II saga:
the story of American conscientious objectors who refused to fight the “good war.” It is a story of personal courage, idealism and nonconformity based on ethical and religious beliefs, about men whose love of country could not extend to killing their fellow man. These resisters were engaged in the civil rights movement, integration of the prison system, reformation of the mental health industry, and as key players in a score of other social and political movements. Provides a reflection about our contemporary nationalism. For grade 9 to adults.
