First We Bombed New Mexico | April 5, 6, 2024 | 10:00 AM | Maryland Hall
The initial detonation of the world's first nuclear bomb "Trinity" occurred in New Mexico a month prior to the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. This event led to the unintended radiation exposure of thousands of American citizens by their own government, resulting in generations of unaddressed cancer cases. This urgent documentary chronicles the journey of activist and cancer survivor, Tina Cordova, who ignites a grassroots movement in New Mexico to demand justice for poisoning its own citizens. (USA, 2023, 95 min, Documentary)
