Hacksaw Ridge Film Screening and Discussion

For Adults

In honor of Veteran's Day, join us to watch and discuss Hacksaw Ridge, a true story about Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who served on the front lines in World War II without a weapon.

Hacksaw Ridge is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of World War II, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun.  He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong.  As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind r enemy lines - braving enemy fire and putting his own life on the line. He was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.
