The Good War & Those Who Refused to Fight It
Directed by Judith Ehrlich, Rick Tejada-Flores
Millions of people from Allied countries fought to liberate Europe from Hitler's grip during World War II. Yet 40,000 Americans refused to shoulder weapons in "the good war." Narrated by Ed Asner, this important film tells the story of a previously ignored chapter of WWII - the American conscientious objectors who refused to fight. It is a story of personal courage, idealism and nonconformity based on both ethical and religious beliefs - about men whose love of country could not extend to killing their fellow man.
The story of U.S. conscientious objectors who were scorned and jailed during WW2 for refusing to kill for their country, only to later became heroes during the civil rights movements.
