Additional information about this project

“My Bloody Sunday" Derry 1972 - The Bloody Sunday families and those who tended to the dead and injured recount the events of that fateful day when 13 unarmed civil rights demonstrators were shot dead by members of the British Army's Parachute Regiment. These three episodes examine the effect it has had on their lives and their quest for justice.

The three episodes are The March, in which relatives of the victims and those who attended the march, along with journalists and photographers, recount the events of that fateful day 51 years ago; The Aftermath, which explores the wakes, the funerals and the effect it had on the families and the city of Derry, while family members remember in loving detail the type of people the victims were; and The Search For Justice, in which the relatives describe the 51 years they have spent fighting for justice for their families.
