Warning; this true story is not suitable for kids, because it has a lot of very gory war scenes. But it is one of the best films all year. There is so much excellent character and plot development long before the last violent and disturbing war scenes, that I still highly recommend this movie.

Steadfast faith in the truth leads this hero to act with great courage and love for his fellow man.
