It is a black episode in the history of Northern Ireland: the “Bloody Sunday”, known as “Bloody Sunday”. On Sunday January 30, 1972 in Londonderry, thousands of people marched for the civil rights of Northern Irish Catholics. As the demonstration draws to a close, the situation escalates.
British paratroopers, brought in as reinforcements from Belfast, open fire on the crowd, a tragedy. The toll of the shooting is heavy: fourteen civilians lose their lives.
