Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and recipient of the Sundance Film Festival’s Audience Award, writer-director Paul Greengrass’s impassioned drama is a striking recreation of the events of Sunday, January 30, 1972, when British troops clashed with unarmed protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland. Released on the thirtieth anniversary of the tragedy, the film has received worldwide acclaim for its fearless style, which mixes largely handheld camerawork and improvised dialogue in a manner reminiscent of Pontecorvo’s canonical The Battle of Algiers.
