John Huston’s moving documentary about returning war veterans was suppressed by the United States government for over thirty years after it was produced. “Every man has his breaking point,” says narrator Walter Huston. “These in the fulfillment of their duties as soldiers were forced beyond the limits of human endurance.” Filmed at two Long Island locations (Edgewood State Hospital, and Pilgrim State Hospital), this account of ex-soldiers struggling with emotional trauma is unforgettable.

Review :
APC Film "Let There Be Light"
Film was shot in a hospital in Long Island New York. When I worked for the Army Pictorial Center we were not permitted to release the film in part because the releases signed by the patients could not be found in the file files. The real reason was claimed to be that the US Government, at the time, was concerned with public reaction to the film showing soldiers who were "shell-shocked". It is unfortunate that the director of this film, Walter Houston, is no longer with us to see his important work released to the public.
AT ONCE BOTH VERY CREEPY AND VERY GOOD! A GREAT LESSON ON THE TRUE PRICE OF FREEDOM IF YOU DARE LOOK!
The patients come in shell shocked or what today is called Post Truamatic Stress Disordered PTSD and they leave better functioning battle scarred human beings. In this movie no veteran goes on to live sad, deluded and half crazy on the streets of the inner city. Nope the veterans here all readjust and are sent home to loving supportive families and or wives. the film puts one in mind of The Naked City in its attempt to honestly protray the journey of damaged fighting man back to civilized caring human being. You walk with the men on their journey seeing medical and mental health doctors (psychiatrists) go through the slow painstaking process of helping battle weary GI's rediscover and reassert their true honorable humanity.
Let There Be Light tries as hard as it can to give you a real world sense of what its like to come back from the hell of war broken as an army of doctors work tirelessly to make you well. Unfortunately Let There Be Light does not exactly have the...
Amazing work by Huston will humble your heart
Amazing work by Huston will humble your heart as you watch these real soldiers--not actors--work through what we now call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The medical specialists listened to the soldiers, bullied a little bit when necessary and treated them respectfully and honestly. Caring medical professionals used the meager tools of that era helping soldiers understand what happened to them, why they reacted as they did and how to cope with their issues.
I found out about Huston's documentary from a neurologist friend who knew of my interest in history. He too was impressed by Huston's attention to detail and artistic vision. Believe it or not, you will be watching a previously censored film here! After his own viewing, General George Marshall refused to release it to the public because he feared public backlash. Even President Truman did not know about it.
It would be a tremendously useful film for today's public and military to watch, whether they have...
