Bloody Sunday

• 2001
• UK/Ireland
• 15

• Directed by: Paul Greengrass
• Cast: James Nesbitt, Tim Pigott-Smith, Nicholas Farrell

Greengrass' documentary-style drama recreates the events of 30 January 1972 in Derry when British soldiers fired upon civil rights activists during a peaceful demo. The effective scene setting and recreation of the mood around the events is superb, as are the performances, particularly Nesbitt in the lead.
