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.
