The film traces what happened when British soldiers started using live rounds on the civilians assembled by MP Ivan Cooper as part of a civil rights protest march. The violence resulted in 13 dead, 14 wounded, and proved to be a major turning point in the history of the modern Irish troubles.

About this product

Product Information

In documentary style, Paul Greengrass' BLOODY SUNDAY, which chronicles the events of January 30, 1972 in Derry, Ireland, is filmed with gritty gray realness. Surrounding a peaceful protest march staged in contest to British laws that permitted internment without trial, the film charts the progress of the march from the night before it to the night following it. As the final organizing of the march takes place that morning, activist Ivan Cooper (James Nesbitt) rushes from the street where police barriers are being erected to his office where he fields a string of urgent phone calls. Meanwhile Major General Ford (Tim Pigott-Smith) arranges for a heavily armed troop of commandos in fatigues and face paint to be ready to intercept the march if it turns violent. A third persona, Kevin McCorry (Allan Gildea), is a young lad with a prison record who believes in the cause of the march but wants to avoid conflict and any real trouble. As the march proceeds, and chaos ensues, the British militia opens fire onto the unarmed crowds, shooting 27 and killing 13 in one of the most shocking instances of excessive force in Irish history, ending any hope of nonviolent resolution, and stoking the IRA.

Bloody Sunday - James Nesbitt DVD
James Nesbit renders a magnificently passionate performance as the Derry MP, Ivan Cooper in this docu-film about the much disputed tragedy that was Bloody Sunday. For anyone who knows anything about this historical event in the Bog Side area of Derry, Northern Ireland, it is impossible to be unbiassed; for the neutral observer, you will be left with many questions as to 'why' an empirical force claiming to represent law and order, justice and democracy should seek to justify in any manner, the shooting of so many innocent Civil Rights protesters during a march to the City Centre. James Nesbit, as with Ivan Cooper, is a Northern Irish Protestant representing a catholic-dominated constituency, had been vilified by some from his own community for his role in the film, which is further indicative of the level of passion still present. That this incident helped to swell the ranks of the Nationalist/Republican paramilitaries is unquestionable, but it can help to explain why this cause against the Government in Whitehall became even more deep-rooted and contributed to prolonging the Troubles in Northern Ireland. My Parents were both Catholics from the Bog Side, and I shall never forget, as a young boy of seven, the bleached look on my mother's face when the news was broadcast on the radio as she ironed uniforms in Merseyside. I found myself moved to tears as the program reached its high-point! The greatest catastrophe surrounding this incident today, as it has been for over 35 years, is that the British Government has never apologised to the family members of the victims. A gesture which could go a long way to patching up and healing old wounds in light of the recent calm in the six counties.Read full review

Bloody Sunday
The film was ok, it was done in the style of a documentary, so it was a bit difficult to follow the story around the actual event of the innocent Irish civilian people getting killed that day, it is also very one sided against the British army, it made those in charge that day look like cowardly, lying, incompetent idiots, you can use your own judgement on that one? the film makes it look like the army set the whole thing up to cause trouble, James Nesbit played the part of a MP in charge of the banned march that started all of the trouble that day, but his part in the film was nothing special. A watchable film all in all but nothing to get excited about
