Description

First We Bombed New Mexico is the untold story of Trinity, the world’s first nuclear bomb detonated in New Mexico one month before the bombing of Hiroshima. It is a story of government betrayal with tragic consequences. Thousands of New Mexicans - mostly Hispanic and Native American - were exposed to catastrophic levels of radioactive fallout, never warned, never acknowledged and never helped afterwards. Generations of cancers followed.

This film includes the narrative of an inspiring New Mexico Hispanic cancer survivor, Tina Cordova, who catalyzed a movement seeking compensation for families - mostly Hispanic and Native - who suffer multigenerational cancers tied to that bomb – and who continue to be ignored.

This documentary is witness to the people’s narrative for voices not heard.

Doors open at 6 pm. This screening includes a post show Q&A.
