BLOODY SUNDAY (2002)

PAUL GREENGRASS

Plot

A harrowing and necessarily disturbing re-enactment of the terrible events that took place on January 30th 1972, when soldiers of the parachute regiment shot dead 13 unarmed civilians. The exact truth of events is not fully known even today, but the killings, on what would become known as "Bloody Sunday", must bare much responsibility for the escalation of violence in Northern Ireland. A conflict lost in blind hatred, where religious denomination became the focus for morally defunct and murderous minorities, showing with bitter irony how the same we all are regardless of our 'beliefs'.
