The Center on Conscience & War invites you to a screening of the award-winning documentary /Soldiers of Conscience/. Following the film there will be an open discussion including former Navy Sailor Daniel Lakemacher whose experiences in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba led him to seek discharge as a conscientious objector.

Soldiers of Conscience is a dramatic look at the dilemma facing individual U.S. soldiers in the current Iraq War. The film profiles seven American soldiers: three who decide not to kill and become conscientious objectors, and four who believe in their duty to kill if necessary. This film reveals how all of them wrestle with the morality of killing in war.
