Sunday

Sunday focuses on the events of January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland. The film depicts a peaceful civil rights march organized by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association to protest imprisonment without trial. This event, known as Bloody Sunday, resulted in 15 people being wounded and 13 others being shot dead. The narrative contrasts the experiences of the local community with the actions and preparations of the British state and army, while also addressing how the government subsequently covered up the incident.
