Let There Be Light (German: Es werde Licht!) is a 1917 German silent drama film directed by Richard Oswald and starring Bernd Aldor, Hugo Flink and Nelly Lagarst.[1] It was followed by three sequels. The film was a protest against Germany's anti-abortion law,[2] and also touched on the dangers of syphilis.[3] It is a lost film.
The film's sets were designed by the art director August Rinaldi. Manfred Noa was employed as an artistic consultant.
