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.
