Hacksaw Ridge is a 2016 war film that follows the true story of Desmond Doss, a field medic who served in the Pacific Theatre in World War II at the Battle of Okinawa, and refused to carry a firearm of any kind in combat. Doss ended up saving the lives of over seventy five wounded American soldiers while under heavy Japanese fire, and became the only conscientious objector who received the Medal of Honor during the Second World War. The film’s narrative begins with Doss’s early childhood life before following him through boot camp and later serving at Okinawa.
