About Let There Be Light (1946)

Let There Be Light (known to the U.S. Army as PMF 5019) is a documentary film directed by American filmmaker John Huston (1906–1987).

The film begins with an introduction stating that 20 percent of wartime casualties are of a psychiatric nature. Veterans are transported from a medical ship to Mason General Hospital to be treated for mental conditions brought about by war. A group of 75 U.S. service members—recent combat veterans suffering from various "nervous conditions" including psychoneurosis, battle neurosis, conversion disorder, amnesia, severe stammering and anxiety states—arrive at the facility.
