Conscientious ObjectoR

DIRECTED AND WRITTEN BY JW CORTÉS

In a breakout performance, writer-director JW Cortes stars as Jason Cruz, an Iraq war veteran arrested amidst allegations of murdering unarmed Iraqi children.

Jason attempts to detach himself from his unsuspecting family in an effort to save them from his pang of conscience. His bride, Kayla (Giselle Forte) fights to not only save her family but herself through the most trying situation of their young lives.

“Conscientious Objector” reminds us that the effects of war are indeed vast, complex and as unique as the Marines and Soldiers are experiencing them. Objecting to one’s self-conscience can be the toughest battle any one person can fight.
