Let There Be Light, 1946
Directed by John Huston in 1946, this landmark film documents soldiers returning from the Second World War with deep psychological wounds. It follows their treatment and recovery in a military hospital, giving a voice to trauma rarely acknowledged at the time. Suppressed for years, it remains a powerful and compassionate record of the hidden costs of war. Historic and moving, it broke ground in portraying mental health.
