The Conscientious Objector is a 2004 documentary film about the life of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who received a Medal of Honor for his service in World War II. Due to his religious convictions as a Seventh-day Adventist, he refused to carry a weapon. He initially faced opposition, persecution, and ridicule from his fellow soldiers but ultimately won their admiration by demonstrating courage and saving lives as a combat medic.
In 2016, a Mel Gibson film dramatizing Doss's life, Hacksaw Ridge, with Andrew Garfield as Doss, was released to mostly critical and commercial success. It also signaled Gibson's welcome-back to Hollywood.
Reception
The film has received some positive acclaim.[1][2][3]
