"Let There Be Light" is a 1946 American documentary film directed by John Huston.
The film was the final entry in a John Huston trilogy of films produced by the request of the U.S. This documentary film follows 75 U.S. soldiers who have sustained debilitating emotional trauma and depression. A series of scenes chronicle their entry into a psychiatric hospital, their treatment and eventual recovery.
Much of the filming was shot at Edgewood State Hospital, Deer Park, Long Island, New York.
The film was controversial in its extremely effective portrayal of shell-shocked soldiers from the war. It was subsequently banned after its release despite the fact that the movie was comissioned by the US Army itself for the film's potential demoralizing effects it may have to the soldiers.
