    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.

    Eye opening about unknown events

    I was stunned watching this film. I can't believe people didn't know all this happened. I certainly didn't. Worth watching, plenty of historical information. Heartbreaking in parts.

    Unmissable

    A very informative and hard hitting documentary presenting the harsh reality of the events surrounding the Ballymurphy massacre.

    Pathetic

    One sided and lacking 50% of the facts, another attempt to rewrite history.

    Powerful

    Very emotional and thought provoking. Definitely recommend this film.
