Bloody Sunday was a turning point in three decades of violence in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles, which cost the lives of more than 3,500 people. The conflict was between Northern Ireland’s Catholic nationalists, who want a united Ireland, and Protestant unionists loyal to Britain.

A much better film on the subject is the 2002 Paul Greengrass directed take starring James Nesbitt. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280491/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 Shot in a Cinema 66 style. Highly recommended
