Surviving Trinity Nuclear Testing: Today's 'Downwinder's' Speak. In a world where historical narratives often fall victim to omission and misrepresentation, it is crucial to shed light on untold stories that have been hidden in the shadows. "First We Bombed New Mexico" is a compelling documentary that uncovers the harrowing aftermath of the world's first atomic bomb detonation at the Trinity site in New Mexico. The film challenges the narrative propagated by Oppenheimer and exposes the ongoing radiological impact on the lives and lands of the people of New Mexico. Cary Harrison dives into the remarkable journey of two extraordinary heroes, Tina Cordova and filmmaker Lois Lipman, who, against all odds, confront the federal government and demand justice for radiation-affected communities.
