They endured incarceration in hellish punishment camps even asylums for the insane. They were stigmatised and tortured in an attempt to break their spirit. And despite their courageous stance, they were shipped off from their native New Zealand to the front line of what is now judged by many to be the most terrible war in history. This powerful, moving and often brutal drama charts the true story of some of the men who refused to fight in World War I.
