	Movies - Bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday is a 2002 British television drama, produced by Granada Television and screened on the ITV network on January 25 2002. The drama concentrates on the events of the "Bloody Sunday" massacre through the eyes of Ivan Cooper, the Protestant Stormont MP (for the SDLP) who was a central organiser of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Movement march in Derry on 30 January 1972 that ended with British paratroopers firing on the demonstrators, killing thirteen.

Cooper is played by James Nesbitt, himself a Protestant from Northern Ireland. The production was written and directed by Paul Greengrass.

The soundtrack contains only one piece of music, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2.

The film was critically acclaimed but was strongly critcised by the makers of the alternative Sunday for its concentration on the leadership of the march and not the perspective of those who joined it.
