Bloody Sunday (Imprint Collection #131)
On 30th January 1972, British soldiers shot dead 13 unarmed civilians taking part in an anti-internment civil rights march in Derry, Northern Ireland. The event was a major turning point in the history of the modern Irish troubles, driving many young men into the IRA and fuelling a 25-year cycle of violence. This powerful, award-winning film tells the story of Bloody Sunday in just one day from dusk till dawn.
Critic Reviews:
- " [An] outstanding dramatization of real-life emergencies, with a nerve-jangling, documentary-type immediacy. " – Dennis Harvey (48 Hills)
- " Powerful retelling of 1972 demonstrations. " – Nell Minow (Common Sense Media)
- " Time has offered the Troubles perspective, investigation and pop-culture outlets (U2′s “Sunday Bloody Sunday”). But Paul Greengrass's film spoke to how reason meant absolutely nothing when rage reigned on either side of the line. " – Nick Rogers (The Film Yap)
