(http://www.thebrag.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_top_large/public/hacksawridge_by_markrogers_1.jpg?itok=b8w8gzRA) Hacksaw Ridge! Win! Tix! It’s one of the most incredible stories of utterly selfless bravery in the Second World War. A medic, pacifist and conscientious objector, Desmond Doss was the only US soldier on the front line without a weapon. The Battle of Okinawa saw him save 75 lives, a remarkable feat given he’d also been wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. His heroism saw him awarded a Congressional Medal of Honour. Filmed across multiple locations in New South Wales, Hacksaw Ridge is Mel Gibson’s film testimonial to Doss. Featuring Andrew Garfield, Vince Vaughn, Hugo Weaving, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey and Rachel Griffiths among its talented American-Australian cast, it received a whopping ten-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival. It opens in cinemas Thursday November 3. Give yourself a chance to win one of ten in-season double passes to the film by filling in the form below. There are some simply great films depicting the Second World War. What's one you love? |
