As the name suggests this incident took place on sunday. The British authorities in a town called Deree in Northern Ireland clamped a ban on public protests. Defying the order the civil rights activists took out a protest match against the British rule. The peace rally turned into a violent one, as a shoot out took palce in the rally. The result: 13 casualities died of bullet injury. This incident happened in 1972. This incident acted as a catalyst for IRA for the next 25 years and they unleashed terror across United Kingdom.
The movie was shot from dawn to dusk something similar to a real time documentary. Because the dialogue part was missing and moreover, hand held cameras were used to retain the "originality".James Nesbit played the leading role. When supporters to the march started pouring in they were inspired by Charles Tindley's song "We Shall overcome" to show that they were suppressed by the British rule. Paul Greeengrass had directed the movie.
