VIDEO : Mel Gibson Dedicates His New Film To Soldiers Victim To Suicide

Mel Gibson spoke on his new film 'Hacksaw Ridge' in Venice on Sunday explaining to attendees at the Venice Film Festival what the movie was about. The first half of the World War II drama focuses on the main character's love interest and centers on his honorable character throughout. Gibson says, "The man who refuses to touch a weapon and wants to do something much higher than something as venal as killing in a war is a very high calling." Gibson also added that he is doing this in honor of soldiers who have committed suicide saying, "It's a sad fact that veterans of wars harm themselves afterwards."
