Hacksaw Ridge – which hits cinemas on November 3rd – was shot in various locations across New South Wales in 2015 and tells the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, 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 rescued the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was injured by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honour, which is the highest military honour in the US, awarded for personal acts of valour above and beyond the call of duty.
To celebrate its upcoming release we’ve got FIVE DVD packs to give away that include a double pass of Hacksaw Ridge alongside a DVD pack copies of Apocalypto, Man Without A Face, and Passion of the Christ.
