Mae "I Was There" yn drioleg o ffilmiau dogfen arbrofol sy'n archwilio problem ymbelydredd, atgof cyfunol ein cymdeithas o fomio atomig Hiroshima a Nagasaki, a'r ddadl heb ei datrys rhwng moeseg a gwyddoniaeth. Mae'r cyfresi hyn yn ymwneud ag effeithiau uniongyrchol technoleg niwclear arfau, fel gwenwyn anweledig, ar y corff dynol. Gan fyfyrio ar atgofion y goroeswr, mae "I Was There" (Rhan I) yn olrhain profiad meddyg am y 70 mlynedd diwethaf, a adroddodd ei ddiwrnod fel tyst prin pan ollyngwyd y bom atomig yn Hiroshima. Mae tystiolaeth deimladwy a phryfoclyd tactegau rhyfel cyfrinachol yn datgelu’r gwerth dynol mewn gwrthdaro mewn cyfnodau o ryfel. Achub bywydau Americanaidd yw'r naratif cyffredin a derbyniol o pam y gollyngodd llywodraeth yr Unol Daleithiau y bom atomig cyntaf ar Hiroshima. Fodd bynnag, mae'r naratif hwn yn gwrth-ddweud y canfyddiad mewn llythyrau personol a deisebau, a ffotograffiaeth arsenal a gedwir yn Amgueddfa Arlywyddol Truman. Mae’r dystiolaeth yn datgelu rheswm sy’n peri syndod braidd dros brofi’r bom atomig ar fodau dynol – gan gystadlu am rym rhyfel yn erbyn Rwsia a sicrhau rôl ddominyddol yr Unol Daleithiau mewn gwleidyddiaeth fyd-eang.

"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. These series concern the immediate effects of weaponized nuclear technology, as invisible poison, on the human body. Meditating on the survivor's memories, "I Was There" (Part I) traces the experience of a physician for the past 70 years, who recounted his day as a rare witness when the atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. The poignant and thought-provoking evidence of the secret war tactics reveals the human value during times of war in conflicts. Saving American lives is the commonly known and acceptable narrative of why the United States government dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. However, this narrative contradicts the finding in personal and petitions letters, and arsenal photography housed at the Truman Presidential Museum. The evidence uncovers a rather surprising reason for testing the atomic bomb on humans – competing for war power against Russia and securing the US dominant role in global politics.
