A Credit to the victims of Bloody Sunday!

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2002)

This film was a real credit to Paul Greengrass and the Bloody Sunday Victims a film that documents the evidence given to Lord Saville's enquiry on that fateful day.
A film that seems biased but sadly is quite true and shows the embarrassment of British forces on that day.
It's a film about a Protestant SDLP MP called Ivan Cooper, who fought for Catholic civil rights and led a march to end internment in which Catholics were arrested and imprisoned without trial.
The civil rights march took place on January 30th 1972. It ended with 13 unarmed civilians killed in cold blood by the British Army's 1st Parachute Regiment.
The film is a gritty insight into the actions with different scenes representing different parts of evidence, which was, given to the enquiry. It was filmed in Derry and is quite realistic to the march on that day. People that were in attendance on that day were also used in the film. Actor James Nesbit also a Protestant Played the role of Ivan Cooper quite well and Gerard McSorley also commanded his role greatly of RUC Chief Inspector Frank Lagan a man who showed deep emotion in realising a British Army disaster. Tim Piggot Smith can also be commended for his role of Major General Ford who took command of the mission that day.
The film is quite unbiased as it shows the disaster causing actions of both sides showing British Soldiers shooting on a crowd of running unarmed civilians and supposed IRA involvement so not many people could argue that this film was propaganda of sorts but a quite well directed insight and a credit to international Human rights.
