Let There Be Light | How PTSD Was Treated After WWII

Directed by John Huston, "Let There Be Light" gives an up close look at how the psychiatric casualties of WWII were treated. Drawing his title from the Bible verse in Genesis 1:3, Huston's film gives the public an up close look at a topic that wasn't commonly discussed in public at the time and shows how the mental health of the soldiers, sailor and Marines of the Second World War was addressed so that they could heal and transition back into civilian life.

  1. I am not a vet. So I cannot relate. But the sucky thing to me in WWII in the pacific is some islands were of no importance. The japanese could have just starved to death. Instead they try to take the island and it costs 10,000 US soldiers.

    1. ? Huh? You know we did skip over many Japanese held islands, right? Do you have any single one particular island in mind that you think should have been skipped, that we didn't? And explain why?
