I WAS THERE
Chi Jang Yin / United States, Japan / 2023 / World Premiere / 14 min.
synopsis
The unique testimony of a physician who, thanks to a series of coincidences, survived the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, brings to life the horror of such an act of mass destruction, even after more than 70 years. The mechanics of the forces that could no longer be stopped once they were set in motion are revealed in a cinematic essay that deconstructs petrified historical interpretation.“The poignant and thought-provoking evidence of the secret war tactics reveals the human value during times of war in conflicts.”
