Downwind

Downwind documents the untold story of the impact the world’s first atomic blast had on the Hispanic and Native American communities of rural New Mexico. The story is told through the personal journey of Tina Cordova, a Latina businesswoman & cancer survivor, and her courageous struggle to bring the true human cost of the Trinity bomb to light, hold the federal government to account, and secure justice for the “Tularosa Basin Downwinders.” Through Tina, we learn the unreported truth of the original Trinity bomb — detonated in secret 70 years ago — and are presented with provocative findings about the atomic blast’s environmental consequences that led to devastating multi generation cancers.
