SOLDIERS OF CONSCIENCE

Made with official permission from the US Army, filmed in state-of-the-art High Definition video, Soldiers of Conscience includes never before seen footage of basic training and the war in Iraq, with an original soundtrack from an Academy Award winner and composer.

From West Point grads to drill sergeants, from Abu Ghraib interrogators to low ranking reservist-mechanics; soldiers in the US Army today reveal their deepest moral concerns about what they are asked to do in war.

Their message: every soldier wrestles with his conscience over killing. Although most decide to kill, some refuse. SOLDIERS OF CONSCIENCE reveals that far more soldiers refuse to kill than we might expect.

Soldiers of Conscience is not a film that tells an audience what to think, nor is it about the situation in Iraq today. Instead, it tells a bigger story about human nature and war.

Soldiers of Conscience is a realistic yet optimistic look at war, peace, and the power of the human conscience.

Their country asked them to kill.
Their hearts asked them to stop.
