My wife, baby daughter and myself lived through this in 1971

This film is historically accurate. The loss of life and the terror inflicted on the local Catholic/Nationalist population by the paratrooper regiment is captured truthfully. The bereaved families of those killed in Ballymurphy still fight for justice after nearly fifty years of a British Government cover up.
