Behind the Scenes of Hacksaw Ridge

"Please Lord, Help Me Get One More":

Hacksaw Ridge producer, Terry Benedict, joins me on the broadcast today.

Hacksaw Ridge is the extraordinary true story of WWII army medic Desmond Doss who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, miraculously saved 75 men in a matter of hours without firing or carrying a rifle.

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.
Doss' courage was exemplified in the simple prayer he uttered as he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers, was wounded by a grenade, and hit by snipers.
Doss was the first conscientious objector of WWII to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor (he called himself a “conscientious cooperator” as he volunteered).
