Stairway to Light (1945)
*** (out of 4)
Oscar winning short about how mentally disabled people were at one time thrown into dark dungeons and chained to walls until Dr. Phillipe Pinel determined that love could cure any disease. This short means well and tells an interesting story but I'm really not sure Charles Manson would be a better person if we just released him from prison and said we loved him.
Turner Classic Movies usually shows this as part of their Oscar month so that will be your best shot at seeing this.
