  • FAITHFUL UNDER FIRE: a BIBLE STUDY and DEVOTIONAL for the FILM Introduction
    FAITHFUL UNDER FIRE: A BIBLE STUDY AND DEVOTIONAL FOR THE FILM Introduction Hacksaw Ridge, a new film released by Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc., tells the story of Private First Class Desmond Doss, an Army medic who received the nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor. The MOH decoration is awarded only for conspicuous and personal acts of valor that are unequivocally deemed to be “above and beyond the call of duty.” Desmond Doss was the first conscientious objector to receive that award — and one of only three ever to do so in our Nation’s history. Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, had a personal, deeply held, biblically formed conviction not to kill — or even to carry a weapon. Nevertheless, he voluntarily enlisted in the Army in 1942 as a combat medic so as to fulfill his calling to serve both his country and his fellow soldiers by saving lives rather than taking them. But a significant part of Desmond’s story is the staunch resistance he faced in the U.S. Army — from both his superiors and fellow soldiers alike, who deemed his non-combatant stance to be a guise for cowardice. The manner in which Doss tenaciously holds-onto his Scripturally based beliefs and ultimately proves himself under the most excruciating and even barbaric combat conditions not only makes for gripping drama. It also confronts everyone who similarly holds biblical convictions in a pluralistic or secular “marketplace” with a challenging roadmap for living faithfully in this world as citizens of our Nation while reserving our highest allegiance to the Kingdom of God.

The Music We Watch Kelsey De Pree Music History II April 5, 2017 Music is universal. It is present from the beginning of history appearing in all cultures, nations, economic classes, and styles. Music in America is heard on radios, in cars, on phones, and in stores. Television commercials feature jingles so viewers can remember the products; radio ads sing phone numbers so that listeners can recall them. In schools, students sing songs to learn subjects like math, history, and English, and also to learn about general knowledge like the days of the week, months of the year, and presidents of the United States. With the amount of music that is available, it is not surprising that music has also made its way into movie theatres and has become one of the primary agents for conveying emotion and plot during a cinematic production.

  • Hacksaw Ridge Partners with DAV
    Hacksaw Ridge partners with DAV Film focuses on Medal of Honor recipient, DAV member’s actions, effects of war Andrew Garfield (far right) portrays conscientious objector and Medal of Honor recipient Desmond Doss, credited with carrying 75 injured soldiers one at a time down a cliff face to safety during the Battle of Okinawa. The young medic went on to rescue and render aid to several others in the days that followed, before being seriously wounded himself. (Photo by Mark Rogers © Cross Creek Pictures Pty. Ltd.) Academy Award-winning director Mel Gibson’s newly released film, “Hacksaw Ridge,” will undoubtedly earn millions of dollars at the box office and get plenty of award buzz during its opening weekend, but its impact has the potential to extend well beyond Hollywood. The film is based on the extraordinary true story of late DAV life member Desmond Doss, an Army medic who became the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Doss is credited for singlehandedly saving and evacuating 75 wounded men from behind enemy lines, without firing or even carrying a weapon, during World War II’s Battle of Okinawa. “I did a lot of research prior to principal photography because the responsibility I immediately felt taking on the role was palpable,” said Andrew Garfield, who portrayed Doss in the film. “It’s difficult to even attempt to understand who he was and how he was able to do the things that he did with such conviction and bravery and love in his heart through such a horribly violent, traumatizing situation.” While speaking at the 2016 DAV and Auxiliary National Convention in August, Gibson said he intentionally made the battle scenes of the film graphic in order to give viewers a better understanding of the horrors of combat.

United States District Judge S & S Aviation, Inc., Defendant. ________________________________/ OPINION AND ORDER For the reasons below, the Court grants the Motion to Dismiss filed by S&S Aviation. (Dkt. 5). I. Background This is an indemnity and contribution case arising out of a plane crash in the Republic of Colombia. The accident occurred after filming of “American Made,” a movie starring Tom Cruise about a drug smuggler recruited by the C.I.A. to capture Pablo Escobar. Dkt. 8 at ¶ 8. Two of the three people on the plane died in the crash. Id. at ¶ 9. The third occupant was seriously injured. Id. Plaintiffs Cross Creek Pictures, LLC; Imagine Entertainment, LLC; Quadrant Pictures, LLC; and Vendian Entertainment, LLC were production companies involved in making the movie. Id. at ¶¶ 1-4. The family of a man killed in the crash filed a wrongful-death suit in California state court against several individuals and companies, including Plaintiffs. Id. at ¶ 9. The decedent’s estate alleges that Plaintiffs arranged and managed the plane used in the film and were responsible for ensuring that only skilled pilots flew it. Dkt. 5-2 at ¶¶ 10- 11. The decedent’s estate also alleges that Plaintiffs negligently allowed an unqualified pilot to fly the plane, causing the accident and the decedent’s death. Id. at ¶¶ 18-20.
