The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the documentary, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a clear account of the film's three featured subjects and the specific Jehovah's Witness practices (conscientious objection, refusal of blood transfusions, refusal to salute the flag) their stories illustrate, plus its festival and critical record. It is cited here for the film's own production and reception facts, not as an authority on Jehovah's Witness doctrine generally.
