Newly uncovered footage from US Army archives recorded the bare land of Hiroshima and the questions of war tactics on the human race. I WAS THERE is a trilogy of experimental documentary films that explores the problem of radiation, our society's fading collective memory of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the unresolved debate between ethics and science. Part II deals with the immediate effect of weaponized nuclear technology on the environment and the trauma caused by the disaster.
