"On 30th January 1972, British Soldiers shot dead 13 unarmed civilians taking part in an anti-internment civil rights march in Derry, Northern Ireland. This event became known as Bloody Sunday and was a major turning point in the history of the modern Irish troubles, catapulting the conflict into a civil war, driving many young men into the IRA and fueling a 25 year cycle of violence. ... this film starring James Nesbitt and directed by Paul Greengrass tells the story of Bloody Sunday in just one day from dawn till dusk."
