I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2020 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 34: A BLACK & WHITE MOVIE

Review: This is the last part in a series of documentaries that director John Huston made for the U.S. Army. Some returning war veterans suffer more from psychological than physical scars. In this film we follow patients and staff during treatment.
We meet veterans that haven’t been able to walk since then, but there is nothing wrong with him physically. It’s purely mental. Some started stuttering, some can’t sleep, some have developed ticks or are overly anxious. We follow how they are treated for these traumas they have suffered during the war.
It's an interesting documentary and it being under an hour makes it even more interesting, since this could easily become boring.

Rating: 3 / 5
