First We Bombed New Mexico 
with Lois Lipman, Filmmaker 

Thursday, June 5
10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Museum of Indian Art & Culture 
710 Camino Lejo – Museum Hill

$25 Members/$35 NonmembersGlobal Santa Fe members and friends are invited to a special screening of the 2023 award-winning documentary First We Bombed New Mexico, followed by an exclusive conversation with filmmaker Lois Lipman and the film’s central figure, Tina Cordova.

This powerful exposé uncovers what the U.S. government knew—and concealed—about the long-term effects of nuclear testing in New Mexico. In 1945, the first atomic bomb was detonated at the Trinity Site. Thousands of nearby residents, mostly Hispanic and Native American, were exposed to extreme levels of radiation. They were never warned, never acknowledged, and never helped. Instead, generations have suffered in silence—many developing cancers and other illnesses without answers or aid.

Tina Cordova, a New Mexico native and cancer survivor, has emerged as a powerful advocate for these communities. Through her leadership, she’s sparked a national movement demanding long-overdue recognition and compensation for the descendants of those affected.

First We Bombed New Mexico tells a profoundly human story of injustice, resilience, and activism. Nearly 80 years later, this overlooked chapter of American history is brought to light through the voices of those who lived it.
