Ignored by ‘Oppenheimer,’ atomic test victims speak out


White Sands (United States) (AFP) – Suffering from cancer, New Mexico residents who lived near the site where the very first atomic bomb was tested in 1945 lament that they have been successively forgotten by the US military, Congress and Hollywood. “Oppenheimer”, the film about the “father of the atomic bomb,” is this year’s Oscar favorite, with 13 nominations.
