The Conscientious Objector is a 2004 documentary film about the life of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who received a Medal of Honor for service in World War Two. His religious faith, Seventh-day Adventism, did not permit him to carry a weapon. For his stance he at first faced opposition and sometimes persecution from commanding officers and ridicule from fellow soldiers, but ultimately won their admiration while demonstrating enormous courage and saving many lives as a combat medic.
In 2016, the best picture Oscar nominated movie, Hacksaw Ridge was made about the life of Desmond Doss.
