“First We Bombed New Mexico exposes the gripping untold story of multigenerational cancers and abandonment suffered by local communities in New Mexico since the 1945 Trinity Bomb detonation in their state,” reads the film’s synopsis. “A history of nuclear colonialism and environmental racism in New Mexico is witnessed as we learn the impact the secret Trinity Bomb inflicted on its residents of color, including a spike in the deaths of newborns shortly after the blast. Amid resurging domestic and global nuclear threats, the film starkly reminds us that radiation doesn’t respect national borders, bringing home the frightening realization that we are all downwinders.”
