The 1972 “Bloody Sunday” shootings in Derry, Northern Ireland. The drama shows the events through the eyes of Ivan Cooper, the Protestant Stormont Member of Parliament who was a central organizer of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in Derry on 30 January 1972.

Before Paul Greengrass shook up the Hollywood action genre with his Bourne films, he won top prizes at Berlin and Sundance for this stunning docudrama about English-Irish tensions. A powerful, provocative, and impressively well-researched dramatization of the events leading up to The Troubles.
