[IDS: A set of screenshots of an Axios article titled "Oppenheimer" brings painful memories for New Mexico Hispanics.
The first screenshot features the beginning of the article. The header reads: 1 big thing: Missing "Oppenheimer" narrative. Below the header is a photo collage with Henry Herrera overlayed over two photos about the Trinity Test. One Trinity photo is coloured, while the other is black and white. The photo of Herrera is also black and white. The photo is captioned as: Henry Herrera witnessed the Trinity Test. Photo illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios. Photos: Russell Contreras/Axios, Bettmann/Contributor and Corbis via Getty Images. Below the photo is the first paragraph of the article reading: As cinephiles gear up for Friday's release of "Oppenheimer," the blockbuster biopic about the "father of the atomic bomb," some residents in southern New Mexico where the bomb was first tested say they've been largely erased from the narrative.
The second screenshot reads:
What they're saying: The new movie "is nothing but an over-glorification of the science and the scientists, again, with no reflection on the harm done to the people in New Mexico," Tina Cordova, co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, which advocates for families affected by the Trinity Test, tells Axios.
Cordova says no one from the movie ever contacted survivors.
"We've done everything to reach out to the filmmakers from the time that they were filming until today."
"Just includea panel, a message at the end of the film that acknowledges the sacrifice and suffering of the people of New Mexico," says Cordova, who plans to watch the film and join panel discussions on it this weekend.
The third screenshot reads:
Flashback: Oppenheimer led a group of scientists during World War II to build the bomb first tested in New Mexico near the homes of Hispanic and Native American residents.
The U.S. government previously seized land from Hispanic and Indigenous homesteaders in northern New Mexico that Oppenheimer knew from horseback riding trips to build a then-secretive lab in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Known as the Trinity Test, scientists first detonated the bomb near the historic Hispanic village of Tularosa and the Mescalero Apache Reservation on July 16, 1945.
Curious residents went to ground zero to picnic and take artifacts, including the radioactive green glass known as trinitite and contaminated pieces of cloth that were used to make christening dresses. They learned the bomb was atomic about a month later.
The fourth screenshot reads:
The big picture: Those residents say their families have battled rare cancers for generations and have been ignored while Manhattan Project scientists like J. Robert Oppenheimer are celebrated.
Details: "Oppenheimer," directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt, follows the American scientist as his team races to create the bomb and deals with the aftermath of its creation.
The movie is based on the 2006 Pulitzer Prize-winning biography "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer."
The last screenshot reads:
Henry Herrera was 11 years old when he witnessed the Trinity Test explosion. He spoke to Axios in 2021 shortly before his death at age 87.
"My mother had just hung her white clothes on the clothesline, and god dang! You should have seen the god dang dust that rolled all over town."
Herrera had his jaw reconstructed after suffering from mouth cancer like other residents.

'Looking back, 2023 was a year of wild swings. And two big strikes (if you’ll forgive the pun) — first the Writers Guild and then the Screen Actors Guild took the studios and streamers to task, forcing production to a halt. Yet whatever was going on behind the scenes, Hollywood had a grand-slam year, asserting its audacious cultural relevance with the historic double-header that was “Barbenheimer.”
Variety’s two chief film critics agree that Christopher Nolan’s portrait of the man behind the Manhattan Project is one for the ages — a “Lawrence of Arabia”-level feat about a turning point in human history, as seen through the haunted blue eyes of one of our finest actors...
Peter Debruge’s Top 10...
2. Oppenheimer
I admit to being underwhelmed by “Oppenheimer” on first viewing. (Hard to imagine, considering the scale, but it didn’t help that the Imax print broke at the film’s press screening, forcing the theater to switch over to a lower-res backup projector — a twist that must have horrified control freak Christopher Nolan.) Grand as anything David Lean ever directed, this massive, awe-powered biopic had been marketed as the making of the atomic bomb, the detonation of which occurs at the two-hour mark, with a third of the movie still to go. Turns out, that last hour holds the (moral) key to why Nolan had to tell this story. After racing to beat the Germans, Manhattan Project super-brain J. Robert Oppenheimer (a never-better Cillian Murphy) faces the terrifying ramifications of what he’s wrought: We now live in a world of nuclear weapons, whose secrets inevitably fell into dangerous hands. I should have known that “Oppenheimer” would demand multiple viewings, as that was true of “Memento,” “Inception” and nearly all Nolan’s films. My advice to you: See it as big as possible as many times as it takes...
Owen Gleiberman's Top 10
1. Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan’s mesmerizing drama became a testament to the promise that serious movies for adults can, and will, have a future in movie theaters. In the wake of its success, however, many have asked: How is it that a densely packed three-hour movie about the father of the atomic bomb became a big-ticket blockbuster on the level of films featuring superheroes, avatars, and Tom Cruise? The answer lies in Nolan’s wizardry as a storyteller. He stages “Oppenheimer” as a coruscating light show of history, dazzling in every detail. It’s a film that draws you in with centrifugal force, even at it both celebrates and interrogates the fabled figure of J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy as a charismatic mandarin whose scientific genius is matched by his self-justifying insolence. If you think the movie falls off in its last third, you haven’t watched it closely enough. Long after the bomb has been dropped, Nolan uses both the extended 1954 security hearing and the amazing performance of Robert Downey Jr. to place Oppenheimer in the crosshairs of judgment, revealing that his delusions were nearly as large as his heroism...'

Toni Myers: Not All Stars Are in the Sky (1943-2019)
I Am So Sad To Report that Toni Myers, the veteran filmmaker credited in more than 18 IMAX® films and a myriad of other film and television projects spanning a multi-faceted career of over 40 years, has died at age 75. She passed away on Monday, February 18th, mere months after her unforgettable presentation at the Inaugural Ebert Symposium on Empathy for the Universe last October 1. She was as much a star as the over 150 astronauts she taught to film in space, and was known as the Spielberg of space films. In fact, the day before her presentation at the University of Illinois, she received a call from the International Space Station which she at first thought was a hoax, but quickly learned was a call to wish her a Happy Birthday. She was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks after that visit.
A recipient of many awards, one of the last and most precious was presented to her a few days prior to her passing. Ms. Myers received the national Companion of the Order of Canada from G.G. Julie Payette, the Governor General of Canada and former astronaut. The ceremony on February 15th, including a NASA tribute, occurred at her home. Canadian astronauts Dave Williams and Roberta Bondar were in attendance as well. Ms. Myers died peacefully at her home in Toronto with her family by her side. We send deepest condolences to her family. She was predeceased by her husband, painter and filmmaker Michael Myers, in 2010. She is survived by her son, step-daughter, and three grandchildren.
Born on September 29th, 1943, to Douglas and Norah Trow, Myers attended Branksome Hall and the Ontario College of Art in Toronto before becoming an assistant editor on commercials, episodes of the CBC series "Telescope" and director Don Owen's groundbreaking 1964 film "Nobody Waved Goodbye." She also worked on the CBC public affairs program "This Hour Has Seven Days" and the drama "Forest Rangers", Canada's first TV show shot in color. A pivotal meeting with future IMAX co-founder Graeme Ferguson in 1965 led to a 50-year partnership between the pair that included some of the finest documentaries ever made for IMAX.
The Giant Screen Cinema Association (GSCA) awarded Myers with outstanding, lifetime achievement award in 2018 for her pioneering vision. She was editor and writer of IMAX’s groundbreaking space trilogy: "The Dream Is Alive," "Blue Planet" and "Destiny in Space." With the advent of IMAX®3D, Myers wrote, edited, and co-produced the award-winning "Deep Sea 3D," and "Under the Sea 3D" with Howard and Michele Hall. She was Producer/Director/Writer/Editor of "Space Station 3D" and "Hubble 3D," each awarded Best Film by the Giant Screen Cinema Association, and among the most successful IMAX documentaries ever made. Myers enjoyed a long and productive association with NASA as a key member of the IMAX team that has trained 155 astronauts and cosmonauts in IMAX film making for 24 missions flown over 25 years.

She worked closely with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Space Telescope Science Institute, and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, marrying data from space-based observatories with pioneering computer techniques to allow audiences of all ages to explore the wonders of the cosmos in IMAX. To date, over 100 million people have seen the IMAX space films worldwide. In addition to her IMAX work, Myers has many television drama and feature films to her credit, including pioneering music films with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Santana. Her music skills were later utilized as Associate Producer and Supervising Editor on the IMAX film "Rolling Stones at the Max."
Myers produced and directed the 3D IMAX film "A Beautiful Planet" for which Myers and team trained four International Space Station crews who captured material for the film over a year aboard the Station. The film documents life aboard the completed Station, and examines the changes to our Earth as seen from the crews’ unique perspective in orbit. It was narrated by Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence and was released in Spring 2016. "A Beautiful Planet" received a special presentation at last fall's inaugural Ebert Symposium in Champaign, Illinois.
Donna Cox of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications considered Ms. Myers a friend and said: "Toni was a great human being, writer, director, photographer and friend. She valued all who worked with her, including our AVL team and the 155 astronauts that she trained. She is honored and remembered in countless ways with her pioneering contributions to IMAX space movies, science outreach and raising the awareness of our beautiful planet and universe. We will all greatly miss her."

Various former NASA astronauts paid tribute to Myers via Twitter, including Tom Jones, who hailed her as an "IMAX genius." "The first film on shuttle I recall seeing – 'Toni's The Dream is Alive' – blew me away," he wrote. "I wanted to be a part of that adventure. We’ll miss Toni, but her films will never be eclipsed." Mark Polansky shared Jones' sentiments, noting, "Toni was an artist who brought human space exploration alive to everyone. Toni's work on IMAX films such as 'The Dream is Alive,' 'ISS,' and more will live forever, as will her legacy. Godspeed, Toni." Another guest of the Ebert Symposium, Astronaut Terry Virts, recalled collaborating with Myers on "A Beautiful Planet," calling it the highlight of his career in space. "Toni's legacy will live on forever," he tweeted.
In a 2014 short film for IMAX, filmmaker Christopher Nolan credited Myers' astonishing footage of space exploration with inspiring his approach to "Interstellar." "One of the first things I wanted to do for research was to view some original prints [of IMAX documentaries], and we did a whole day's viewing, hours and hours of incredible images, and the name on the films, it was Toni Myers," said Nolan.
