More Irish Films

Last night on this thing called TV (Telephonic Visual Set) there was a film on channel 4? called "Bloody Sunday" it starred James Nesbitt who was the guy who wanted to stab Liam Neeson in the other film we watched. Basically bloody sunday was the event in which the UK army shot at unarmed civilians killing 13 on the 30th January 1972. Another man died 4.5 and half months later, the death was attributed to the injuries he recieved on that day, the horrible Irony was that the man was not even involved in the riots.

A little background to the situation the march was organised to be held in Derry, all marches and protests had been banned but that did not stop the situation occuring. The IRA had promised all members in attendence would be unarmed. The army had barricaded the predicted parade group and they moved round. Teenagers battered at the barricade to be hosed down and shot with rubber bullets.

Reports of an IRA sniper meant that the order to fire live rounds was given from their it became almost a massacre, members of the army shooting civilians. It only got worse from here people were shot in the back. One of the most horrible stories of the dead is Bernard McGuigan (41). Shot in the back of the head when he went to help Patrick Doherty. He had been waving a white handkerchief at the soldiers to indicate his peaceful intentions.

Army HQ ordered a ceasefire that was not held. In the resulting inquests many stories were said of those shot holding weapons. Witness reports, photographs and evidence for guns were not found. However a body did contain a nail bomb which was told by those that examined him before he died did not posess at the time. Also in regards to claims of weapons no British soldiers were harmed on the day of Bloody Sunday

The Effects Of The Bloody Sunday Massacre
The catholics lost trust in the British army
Crowds burnt down the Brittish Embassey
Led to nationalist joining military groups
Huge artistic reaction e.g U2 and "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

And an interesting fact - James Nesbitt is a patron of Wave - a charity that supports those traumatised by thge troubles. The charity was in trouble before he persuaded others to get involved.
