Synopsis
Produced by Granada Television, the film recounts the 1972 “Bloody Sunday” shootings in Derry, Northern Ireland. The drama shows the events of the day through the eyes of Ivan Cooper, the Protestant Stormont Member of Parliament (for the Social Democratic and Labour Party) who was a central organizer of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in Derry on 30 January 1972. The march ended when British paratroopers fired on the demonstrators, killing thirteen instantly and wounding another thirteen, one of whom died 4½ months later from injuries he received on that day. —IMDb

A whirlwind of brutality, dehumanization, and most importantly realism. This film is an incredible exercise in documentary-realism and for anybody who supports the republican movement in Northern Ireland, it certainly leaves your stomach in knots and your heart heavy. Although semi-fictionalized, the story is heartbreaking. James Nesbitt carries the weight of thousands on his shoulders and in his face.

to know the horror that this event actually was, this film is a true testament to the fact that even in this modern times the inhumane apocalyptic power of brutality can still be harnessed in film.

Chaotic. Devastating. Claustrophobic. Brutal. Interesting to watch between "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" and "Hunger".

Without giving you any real background (in which i should have researched on my own), Paul Greengrass unfolds, in real-time, a horrific tale of civil disobedience gone bad.
