Let There Be Light-Is a Wartime 1946 American Documentary Film Directed by John Huston
This documentary film follows 75 U.S. soldiers who have sustained debilitating emotional trauma and depression. A series of scenes chronicle their entry into a psychiatric hospital, their treatment and eventual recovery.
Much of the filming was shot at Edgewood State Hospital, Deer Park, Long Island, New York. The film was controversial in its extremely effective portrayal of shell-shocked soldiers from the war. It was subsequently banned after its release despite the fact that the movie was commissioned by the US Army itself, due to the potentially demoralizing effects the film may have on the soldiers.
ADVISORY: This movie has been described as shocking by some. From an observational stand-point it is a fascinating look into the history of the governmental acknowledgment and research into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. From a humanitarian stand-point, it is a distressing glimpse into the minds of terribly traumatized war veterans.
