5 Under-the-Radar, Inspirational Movies Values Audiences will Go Bananas For

HACKSAW RIDGE

Mel Gibson is back in the director’s chair for the first time in a decade, and he’s there to tell the true story of WWII Army Medic Desmond Doss. The first conscientious objector in American history to be awarded the Medal of Honor, his great heroics and amazing humility are the stuff of legend among WWII veterans. To what did he credit all this? His faith.

The trailer looks breathtaking, and has already been called “Mel Gibson’s Redemption” by the legendary movie blogger Brian Godawa. Godawa, who has a reputation for telling it like it is, wrote “suffice it to say this is the best war movie about Christianity in a time of war since To End All Wars.”
