Bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday was a tragic incident in Northern Ireland on January 30, 1972, when British soldiers shot and killed 13 unarmed civil rights protesters in Derry, sparking outrage and increased tension.

On January 30, 1972, in the Northern Irish town of Derry, a peaceful protest march led by civil rights activist Ivan Cooper (James Nesbitt) turned into a slaughter. British soldiers suddenly opened fire on the defenceless crowd, killing 13 people and wounding 14 more. Shot as if a documentary, this film follows Ivan throughout the day as it chronicles the events leading up to the horrific incident and the bloodied, confused aftermath that followed.
