Lt. Watada tells a David and Goliath story about a young army officer willing to face court-martial and eight years in prison rather than be a party to war crimes. Lt. Watada is the first military officer to refuse to deploy to Iraq and to speak out that the war is illegal and a violation of his oath to the Constitution. The film is a cliffhanger as it dramatizes what it means for a lone soldier to publicly challenge Presidential war policy in order to fulfill his duty as an officer, to follow the rule of law and to honor his Oath
