[jfko6]

The film features several men and women who were among the 2,500 U.S. soldiers who sought to become conscientious objectors during the Gulf War. The stories of the objectors illuminate the transformations they underwent - from teenage recruits to responsible adults, willing to take a moral stand despite the personal consequences. Their resistance was met with threats ranging from dishonorable discharge to the death penalty.
