Bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday is a 2002 film that depicts a deadly incident in Irish history that occurred on Sunday, January 30th, 1972. The movie shows the day's events through the eyes of Ivan Cooper (James Nesbitt) who, on this day, led a peaceful march through the Northern Ireland town of Derry in protest after Protestant leaders imprisoned Catholics without a trial. The march went against the beliefs of the hard-line IRA and the British military. British paratroopers led by Major General Robert Ford (Tim Pigott-Smith) fired upon the peaceful protestors killing thirteen protestors instantly and wounding 14 more. The film was introduced to the public at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Audience Award and later tied for the Golden Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival. The song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 is also featured at the end of the movie and is the only song on the movie's soundtrack. MORE [EDIT]
