The TVI Take

Mel Gibson's 2016 war film, written by Andrew Knight and Robert Schenkkan, about Desmond Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist medic who refused to carry a weapon at Okinawa. Andrew Garfield's lead performance models conscientious resistance under fire.

The structural argument is that pacifist conviction can constitute the highest form of military heroism.
