Bloody Sunday begins innocently with Ivan Cooper, an Irish member of Parliament, going about trying to organize a peaceful march. He fully believes in the ideals of Martin Luther King Jr., and feels that they can make an important political statement without violence.

But in the other side the British forces, including Major General Ford, prepare for the march. It seems that some of the British are itching for confrontation. They have contingency plans in place along various parts of the proposed route.

As the march progresses, tensions begin to flare.

Greengrass ( the movie's director) sweeps the viewer into the melee, putting his camera in the middle of the danger.

Greengrass' depiction of the events of Bloody Sunday are truly moving. They force people everywhere to remember what happened that bloody day in Londonderry, Northern Ireland by taking them right into the middle of it all.

The 30th January 1972 may not have been the bloodiest day in the history of Northern Ireland's Troubles, but Bloody Sunday's significance in shaping the course of the conflict cannot be overstated.

The Provisional Irish Republican Army's (IRA) campaign against Northern Ireland being a part of the United Kingdom had begun in the two years prior to Bloody Sunday, but perceptions of the day boosted the status of and recruitment into the organisation.
