Blessed are the peacemakers

Documentary film about Arndt Pekurinen. He was a Finnish antimilitarist and a conscientious objector. He would have accepted any kind of civilian post or civil defense assignment, but objected to all work within military. Objection during a time of war in 1939 was unlawful behaviour and could end up in execution which, in turn, would make him a martyr for the pacifists. Maybe one day humanity can ascend the stairway of civilisation and all wars stop.

One-stroke deficit

Inspired by the real events of t he biggest heist of all time on Danish soil. But the filmmakers have certainly taken it easy with the facts...
