This has got to be one of the most powerful films I have seen in a long time. Netflix: Bloody Sunday This documentary-style drama portrays the events of Sunday, January 30th, 1972, in the Catholic “Bogside” district of Derry, Northern Ireland, when 13 unarmed civilian demonstrators were shot and killed by members of the British Parachute Regiment. The massacre is blamed for turning what had been a relatively peaceful wave of dissent into a civil war for the next two decades, inspiring thousands of young Irish men to join the ranks of the IRA.

This was not an easy film to watch, it’s disturbing, but it chronicles events that were pivitol in shapping the course of Irish history. Boody Sunday is more than a U2 song. Rent it and learn.
