Title: Win 1/5 "Hacksaw Ridge" double in-season passes Post by: culturebird on Wednesday 19 October 2016, 03:08:51 pm (http://www.weekendnotes.com/im/002/09/ifdhacksawridgea4.jpg)
http://cinemaaustralia.com.au/2016/10/19/win-a-double-pass-to-see-hacksaw-ridge/ Directed by Mel Gibson, Hacksaw Ridge is 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 evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Terms and Conditions: Competition closes Wednesday, 26 October. Competition open to Australian residents only. |
