This review is from: The Road to Bloody Sunday: How the Troubles in Northern Ireland Began (VHS Tape)

This was originally produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting. For anyone interested in the history of the modern troubles, this is a great primer. Many of the important players in the events are interviewed. The British, protestant, and catholic sides are all there. One of the most telling things in talking to those who have seen the video is that I have noticed that each of the sides thinks that the other side has been too postiviely portrayed. It is very short and to the point with vintage video as well as modern perspective. Sadly, the producer has passed away, but what a job he did.
