Soldiers of Conscience

When is it right to kill? In the midst of war, is it right to refuse? Eight U.S. soldiers, some whom have killed and some who have said no, reveal their inner moral dilemmas in Soldiers of Conscience. Made with offi cial permission of the U.S. Army, the programme transcends politics to explore the tension between spiritual values and military orders. Soldiers follow the stories of both sincere conscientious objectors and sincere war fi ghters. Through this clash of views, the programme discovers a surprising common ground, all soldiers are “soldiers of conscience” torn between the demands of duty and the call of conscience.
