The Ballymurphy Precedent

John Pilger's film on the conflict in Northern Ireland is a skilful mix of investigative journalism, documentary storytelling and reflections on contemporary history.

Documentary 2018 108 mins

Director: Callum Macrae

Watch trailer Rent for £3.50

Overview

Innovative filming techniques and powerful interviews are used to strip away the façade of how the conflict in Northern Ireland was reported. It reconstructs one of that period’s most shocking atrocities, previously largely unknown outside the country: the death of eleven innocent people killed by the British army, during protests against internment. It’s a disturbing story about the experiences of ordinary people and their determination to find out the truth, no matter how painful.
