  Bloody Sunday (1972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On Sunday January 30, 1972, in an incident since known as Bloody Sunday, 14 unarmed men and boys were shot dead (one of whom died 4 months later) and 13 others were wounded by British paratroopers after a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in the Bogside area of the city of Derry, Northern Ireland.
Bloody Sunday boosted the status of the organisation, and many young Catholics, who felt aggrieved at what they perceived as the injustice of the day, joined the IRA.
Memory of Bloody Sunday overshadows most other violent instances in the history of the recent troubles of Northern Ireland, arguably because it was carried out by the forces of the British Government and not paramilitaries.

 Sunday Bloody Sunday Movie: Sunday Bloody Sunday DVD is available from Bestprices.com
Directed by John Schlesinger, SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY is a sociologically astute drama about the bisexual love triangle between three characters navigating the changing mores of the early-1970s sexual revolution.
Considered groundbreaking for its frank depiction of homosexuality (as well as featuring one of the first onscreen same-sex kisses), the film's nonjudgmental approach to its characters' seething loneliness is shaped by Penelope Gilliatt's intelligent script, Schlesinger's fluid direction, and the disarmingly honest performances of its two leads.
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY deftly straddles the line between character study and social commentary, offering mature drama that is both specific to its era and disconcertingly prescient.
