From the Director of The Maltese Falcon, and Editor of The Godfather, ‘Let There Be Light’ takes an intimate look at the life of American WWII soldiers dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and their road to recovery. Revolutionary for its time, the use of hidden cameras captured intimate moments of these soldiers at their most emotionally vulnerable moments, with the resulting film being intended to educate the public about how difficult this reintroduction to society was for these men. However the footage proved to be so shocking that the US Government banned it being shown until the 1980s. In this film we see one-on-one counselling sessions with veterans and the variety of test that were carried out on soldiers after the war had ended.

The people who think Memorial Day is just a long weekend should be required to watch this.

I see boys who grew up in a loving environment and during the war dealt with something so horrific and evil that they were not conditioned to deal with.

I'm a Marine never saw combat myself, but one night I was in the barracks and one of my boys just got back from Afghanistan that night no one knew or was there to meet him. he was picked to train foreign soldiers. So our whole unit didn't go. He spent the whole night decompressing as we passed bottle of jack. Listening helps don't pretent to understand because I know I can't.

War's unseen tragedy. These guy's paid a heavy price for the freedom most of the world enjoys today.

My grandfather was captured in Singapore by the Japanese in 1942, where he was subsequently ill-treated and almost starved to death in captivity. His mental state would have been grim for what he had to endure, surviving such horrors. He had a family and pushed on in life after being liberated, never giving up, challenged himself to the end, when my grandmother found him dead in his bed in 1973. He had his faults, like us all, struggling every day of his life, a part of existing. We all suffer trauma and struggle to some extent mentally, some more than others unfortunately, but it is how we manage this trauma, using positive thinking, is how we cope. Giving into negative thoughts or emotions, is never an option.

I was 5years old with cousins with my own age in a theater to see an American movie when an incident happened during air plane flying dropping bombs scene, a young man about late 20's freaking out and the movie stop and ambulance took him away. We first saw him with his friends at the lobby before the show started and he looked healthy good looking man around late twenties; then rumors we heared that he was South Korean veteran and probably "shell shocked"'. I did not understand it then because he appeared healthy physically at first then later broken. It was an indelible experience of my childhood.

My uncle went to ww2 as a happy young sportsman and come home old and broken - rarely to be happy again

My Dad was a WWII Vet and I know that he suffered. He never spoke of it and would sometimes spend a whole month or longer in bed. My Mom would fix meals and we would we take them to him. He was in the I.B.E.W. so when he got ready to go back to work he would go down and sign the book. I never really understood it until many years later. He was in the 84th Infantry Division, Battle of the Buldge. He was buried with full military honors on Veterans Day in 1995.

I absolutely loathe war but at the same time am fascinated by it. War doesn't have winners except those who stand to gain financially or politically. Everyone else loses to different degrees.

@DavidMartin-ru5zt 3 года назад

What a crying shame what all these young heroes went through . We can't even imagine what price they paid for our freedom. God bless them all .

I'm glad my uncle's were to busy rebuilding the nation to pay any attention to their own issues.

So many men came back with wounds that could not be visibly seen, but were just as damaging and debilitating as any physical wounds, mostly from what happened to friends, and not what happened to them.
