WAR AND PEACE I Renounce War

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A documentary history of conscientious objectors in Britain, from the passing of the Military Service Act in 1916 to the return home of the last conscript 30 years ago. The testimony of those who took a stand for peace in two world wars reveals the changing nature of resistance to war.
Conscientious objectors tell how they feared they'd be shot, how they were cut off from society and how they reconciled resistance with the need to fight evil in a violent world. Producers Sharon Goulds and Marilyn Wheatcroft
A Television History Workshop production for BBCtv
