Bloody Sunday

Radical drama has often tackled the troubles in Northern Ireland. This powerful film by Paul Greengrass dramatises the events of Bloody Sunday - the infamous clash between the British Army and crowds of civilian demonstrators. An incident often sited as turning a conflict into a civil war and fuelling a 25-year cycle of violence. Told within a 24-hour time frame, the film focuses on two young men, an idealistic Civil Rights leader and a 17-year-old Catholic rebel.
