Sixty years ago, director John Huston made a documentary about psychoneurotic combat veterans called "Let There Be Light." The military bankrolled the film, but before it could be publicly seen, it was confiscated. The film went unscreened for 35 years. What was it that the military wanted to suppress? Weekend America's Krissy Clark takes a look at how veterans, and the ones who care for them, deal with the stresses of war.
