Bloody Sunday Press Conference

“I feel very I’ll-equipped to do any preaching to them, after today.” The weight of that simple line is immeasurable.

[@michaeldoliveira720]

His performance is amazing. He goes from being optimistic and hopeful to just feeling utterly defeated. A man who truly believed in non-violence who now can't argue against the alternative.

“All over this city tonight, young men will be joining the IRA....and you will reap a whirlwind” Truer words rarely spoken

[@StargazerNorth1]

Straight White British Protestant Shows what you know, you ignoramus. Innocent civilians were murdered that day, and the British establishment lied and covered it up for decades. Get a clue, moron.

[@bladerunner9129]

StargazerNorth1 unfortunately they did try to cover up killings of innocents and should be held accountable. At the same time, there are many sources confirming that the IRA opened fire before the soldiers started. IRA were Murderers that used Bloody Sunday as a recruitment open day. Anyone that seeks to Justify murders on either side are the reason why this country has been unable to move on. Disgraceful

“This is our Sharpeville. This is our Armristar massacre.” 🇮🇳🇮🇪🇿🇦

[@mikewalsh5825]

The 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday is next Saturday. Remember that the march was formed and held to protest the recent introduction of Internment, which gave the police and the army to arrest and hold people suspected of "terrorism" indefinitely and without charges. This film should be mandatory viewing.

If my aunt saw this, she would’ve thought about how the Palestinians feel about the Israeli occupation on their land.

[@ThingsWeSaidToday]

@@eaglesfan226 i've been to israel/palestine and this sort of thing happens so often. Innocent people protesting their rights getting shot. the scene where the road blockade stopped the kid from getting to the hospital... i know many people that that has happened to.

[@ie004193]

Been thinking about this scene for the past 12 days. God's justice awaits the evildoers.

What a brilliant actor Jimmy Nesbitt is. And a very principled man.

[@keanu320]

Met him 10 years ago when he came into my college too talk about this film. From my experience of encountering him three words come to mind 'immature' 'unprofessional' 'jerk'

[@jonoessex]

It's interesting you say that. This film is a dishonest piece of IRA propaganda but I thought Nesbitt seemed a nice enough bloke. Why did you come to the conclusion that he was an "immature, unprofessional jerk".

[@dubmait]

sorry ...but whats dishonest i mean ...this was the neutral version ...how is it propanganda??

1972 would be the worst year of the conflict, the violence really escalated after Bloody Sunday

The IRA membership went from a few dozen, to a few thousand after the events of Bloody Sunday.

[@GerryBolger]

My father told me about crowds of people down in small town Tipperary burning Union Jacks, burning effigies and, of course, people cueing up to fight for the cause after they saw what happened that day. It's a horrifying scar on the Irish psyche but if I'm honest with myself, I'd probably be there with them...

[@callantierney1685]

It has been proved that the British government covered it up for years. Then got caught out. Lol. Magine. Hahahahahah

[@paddyceyle966]

As if it wasn’t enough in Northern Ireland, they went and done the same in Iraq and Afghanistan..

[@martinignaciodefeo9235]

Was this broadcasted during the Queen´s 70th Jubilee? The very same Queen who condecorated the soldiers who caused this massacre?

Who is the woman next to Ivan Cooper? Who did she play as?

[@jmasl7]

it's Bernadette Devlin. I think the actress is Mary Moulds.

Lolol pathetic

[@nielspemberton59]

What happened was due to poor management of the troops by their commanders. I do not excuse their extremely unprofessional behavior.

[@derekrushe]

So it was just a coincidence that in every colony the 'Empire' held, when the indigenous peoples decided to stand up for their own rights, such massacres happened. Just a twist of fate, aye?

[@mikewalsh5825]

oh, just "unprofessional," huh? Just a coupla bad apples...again?!

[@lsjt8924]

You spelled “murderous behaviour” incorrectly.

[@fartinmartin404]

I agree! Another incident worth mentioning is the Mau Mau rebellion. When tens of thousands of Kenyans died, hundreds of thousands were held in British run concentration camps, and thousands more were besten, raped, and tortured that was just extremely unprofessional. I wouldn't dream of excusing their behavior. Not like there's a pattern of Britian brutalizing indigenous peoples on their on land!

[@derekrushe]

'Extremely unprofessional behaviour ', you think you were talking about them being drunk on duty.
