Sunday

This is supposed to be well-researched and based on fact. How come therefore that it's so packed with McGovernisms. Did the people of Derry live in some kind of bizarre Philip K. Dick world in which reality was uncannily like Cracker/ Liam/ Priest? Or is McGovern an idle hack who just keeps repeating hims

This film deals with the atrocity in Derry 30 years ago which is commonly known as Bloody Sunday.

The film is well researched, acted and directed. It is as close to the truth as we will get until the outcome of the Saville enquiry. The film puts the atrocity into context of the time. It also shows the savagery of the soldiers on the day of the atrocity. The disgraceful white-wash that was the Widgery Tribunal is also dealt with.

Overall, this is an excellent drama which is moving and shocking. When the Saville report comes out, watch this film again to see how close to the truth it is.

This drama is an excellent interpretation of the events on and surrounding January 30th 1972.

It is very fact based despite the opinion of others and presents the day for what it really was, cold blooded murder and an attack not just on the 28 innocent, catholic civilians shot that day, but on the very idea of civil rights for everyone in Northern Ireland.

McGovern has used to astonishing effect both the infamous photos from the day and the eye witness accounts from both soldiers and marchers that led to those photos being taken. The "not spoken of; yet well known" stories of (at the time)oppressed Irish Catholics of the North. Harrowing... but to but it simply it does not tell the true story of the north at the time. It does not delve into the cause and effect, the fear and despair for everyone that was placed or lived at that time in that part of the world. ... but regardless of what you read above "reviews" ... this has been proved a factual... and it is a hard watch but well worth it. Enjoy

I will leave the reviews to the reviewers but as some may have read above reviews both about the film and defending the soldiers and claim it too be biased against them.. what has now become fact is that those soldiers are being treated as murderers and that every word they said was a lie...

An excellent and accurate film... McGovern takes great pains to research and document his writing and it pays off. He is not afraid to tell the truth, even though it might draw unfavourable reviews and comments from some who like stories to be clean and sweet and glossy.

Once again, McGovern brings in Christopher Eccleston, though not in as high a profile a role as he played in Hillsborough. I found this movie as accurate, well acted and well presented as Hillsborough and I applaud McGovern for his poignant unapologetic writing. Well done and my hat is off to the writer, the actors, the production crew. A great film!
