What happens

Bloody Sunday is a 2002 docudrama film written and directed by Paul Greengrass based around the 1972 "Bloody Sunday" shootings in Derry, Northern Ireland. Although produced by Granada Television as a TV film, it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 16 January, a few days before its screening on ITV on 20 January, and then in selected London cinemas from 25 January. Bloody Sunday is an international co-production of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Though set in Derry, the film was mostly shot in Ballymun in North Dublin. Some location scenes were shot in Derry, in Guildhall Square and in Creggan on the actual route of the march in 1972. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
