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. Inspiring New Mexico Hispanic cancer survivor, Tina Cordova has catalyzed a movement seeking compensation for families 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.
