- An excerpt from 'Bloody Sunday - A Derry Diary', an 86min documentary on the course of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry from the point of view of the families of the victims as they attended venues between Derry and London over a six year period (1998 - 2004) and the conclusion of the Saville Report in June 2010. We hear many new eye witness accounts by families and friends of the dead and those wounded on the day and view newly discovered archive footage uncovered during the course of the Inquiry.
Directed and Co-Produced by Margo Harkin of Besom Productions Ltd. alongside Co-Producer Carl-Ludwig Rettinger of Lichtblick Film for ZDF/Arte in 29 January 2007 and RTE in 6 February 2007.

People saying the IRA got away wit Murder and the British soldiers are the victims. Maybe ur points would make more sense if the British had actually killed armed IRA men instead of teenagers protesting legally and then claiming that they were fired upon without proof to back it up
Louis Fitzpatrick they did but that was a rare occasion, what about the 640 odd civilians that were killed by the ira
Louis Fitzpatrick not to mention the killings came because of bloody sunday.
Jack killings came wayy before and wayyy after Bloody Sunday mate and if ur using the lives of innocents to justify the work of terrorists who they probably wouldn’t have agreed with u need to catch yourself on
Conor Keogh it was not rare they did it nearly weekly
sometimes killing people they thought where armed but
weren't
Firstly they were not protesting legally and secondly a lot of those teenagers would probably have gone on to join the IRA. Next time, get your facts right.
too little too late. my city and the people in it will always bare the scars of 30th january 1972

Great 1 apology down. Now just hundreds more to go
The parachute regiment also murdered 11 people
In Ballymurphy, Belfast, 1971 including a priest tending to a victim. 25 innocent people in two incidents. What a horrible time in our history
within 4 months of each other at that
Always makes me tear up watching this. Good thoughts to the people of Derry
Just saying the British wrongly imprisoned someone who they knew
was innocent for 15 years because they thought he was part of the IRA. While he was
in prison his dad died. He finally got out and the people who prosecuted him walked free

You can demand all you like. Never gonna happen.
@Liam Connington People of Ireland have always stood by the people of India in various ways. Be it the Hindustan Republican Army which was inspired by the IRA, to Annie Besant and her Home Rule movement in India to Margaret Elizabeth Noble (Sister Nivedita), to the Directive Principles of State Policy of our constitution, we Indians have a lot to thank the Irish people for. 🇨🇮❤🇮🇳

I'm not one of those SJW's that scream: "raaacism" every five minutes but my dear, you have the wrong colour of skin.
If the English would have start to apologise to every country/people/nation they did wrong, the parliament would have to stop working and reading apologies for a century straight. They held roughly 25% of all people and land of this green earth as "Subjects of the crown". The world still gives alot of shit to the Germans, in case of the eastern europeans I have understandings, while the English still hold on to parts of their colonial empire, which they call overseas-territories now. Even in europe with Cyprus. I don't count Gibraltar because they were given a choice.
Indian victims of British colonialism deserve justice also
A British politician actually criticising their own precious military.... I must be drunk
Took nearly 40 years for the brits to admit this evil act against unarmed civilians. Well done People of Derry
Nigel Murphy I’m just waiting for an apology from the ira for killing 600 odd civilians
Again, Conor. These killings came because of bloody sunday.
Jack
The IRA had been killing Civilians for decades by the time Bloody Sunday happened.
If the Ira had never been formed, Bloody Sunday would have never happened.
The Ira And The Republican Paramilitarys Are to blame for the troubles.
*Londonderry
Protestant Boy 1872 the ira were fighting to get the english army out of ireland where they have no business being in in the first place
the british army got away with far too much in northern ireland.
Utter rubbish. The army was provoked and had one hand tied behind its back the whole time. Bill Clinton was right; the Irish love fighting.
So did the IRA
The British army got away with murder
Not as much as the IRA did.
@@Puppy-ew4be It's a joke only one soldiers get prosecuted for opening fire on a peaceful protest
We want more than just an apology
When a white police shoots a hardened black criminal in the line of duty, USA, its 'racist murder'. When British law officials shot at a wild mob shooting at them and hurling stones and other damaging objects its also 'murder'. But when IRA murderers kill innocent civilians, its a 'just cause'. Criminals in the USA and many other countries now, have all the rights and the law abiding and law enforcement persons have none. Mr Cameron, your British forces are indeed the worlds best. But the British/Irish investigators of this tragedy and others are the worst.
Yes, speeches like these may help British-Irish relations, but they certainly do not help a world plagued with crime and disrespect for law enforcement authority. Mr Cameron, please note that law enforcement personnel, anywhere, anytime have a right to defend themselves against personnel of an illegal, illegally (partially)armed gathering.
DARK GLOBE what about the 800 years of murder and slaughter upon Irish people from the British? The IRA is a product of that slaughter. What do you expect. The British created the IRA, there would be no IRA if the brits would leave Ireland to the Irish
wtf do u want
+DARK GLOBE May I remind you that most, if not all of these civilian killings came because of Bloody Sunday?
May those innocent people rest in peace
What happened that day was horrific.
Still couldn't find the time to take the 'London' away from Derry or take away the border. Yeah, brilliant apology.
David Cameron at his most human. The man had dignity.
50 years on and still not a single para charged with those murders.
There will be always scars on Ireland forever on the 30th of January 1972 was indeed bloody although I wasn't born my mum and my grandparents can remember it very clearly and still have nightmares about the fallen bodies the people of that day will never be forgotten and that day will leave deep scars on our country WE WANT PEACE WE WANT IT NOW !! 💪✌✌✌💖💖
leave us irish alone ye British people ye have no idea how much ye hurt our country on the 30th of January 1972 when u hit young innocent civilians from the age 16 and up

Eve Egan also the ira killed over 600 innocent civilians
@@Giggoer1998 you think Ireland and Britain's issues started then? England invaded us, committed genocide against and tried to erase us as a people from the world. We are completely justified in hating everything the British empire and before stood for, you can't blame us for fighting back

@@jackanderson1534 Ah, yes. Completely justifiable.
This made my eyes tear up. Those poor Catholic boys and their families.
Took you long enough London
Decades after this mass murder was committed by her majesties royal forces(1st battalion, parachute regiment) against people whom the British government claimed to be the queens subjects, in a place they claimed to be her country the United Kingdom only one prime minister David Cameron has described this war crime as what it is unjustified and unjustifiable, yet to this day not a single one of these in human monsters(the soldiers of 1st battalion parachute regiment) has been held responsible for their horrific warcrimes, British Imperialism at it's best, Britain has never been a democracy, a monarchy can never be a democracy, this is only one of the atrocities committed by the British government in the last 50 years.
Where’s the apology for the ballymurphy massacre
IRA and Ireland got somewhat revenge at Warrenpoint in 1979 when 1Para got taught a lesson by the RA.
13 gone and not forgotten, we got 18 and Mountbatten.
@BossmanFromEnds How many civilians were fire bombed in Dresden by the RAF yet the Brits celebrate "winning" that war all the time.
@BossmanFromEnds as a German I agree with you (mostly). If the carpet bombing to that degree was a military necessity and therefore thoroughly justified is debatable, but the Nazi Regime was pure evil and had to be stopped by all means. Also, yes: the German Luftwaffe did this first and Germans did way worse. To compare the British Army - even given the disgraceful and murderous actions of the Paratrooper Regiment on Bloody Sunday, let alone the brave British men fighting during WWII - with either the Wehrmacht or even the SS is uncalled for whataboutism. I also heartily agree with your above comment regarding the assassination of Mountbatten and the two teenagers. I detest the atrocities of the Provisional IRA, the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Rogues within the British Army, corrupt British policemen and judges that put innocent men and women like the Birmingham Six or the Maguire Seven away into prison likewise! I pray that the hate will wither away and there'll one day be lasting peace in Northern Ireland. God bless!
The families of those murdered by paras in Ballymurphy, Belfast also deserve an official apology. Considering bloody Sunday sorry took 40 years and millions of pounds, it's unlikely. RIP to every single person killed in the troubles and sorry from this particular Irishman to all killed or injured in the name of republicanism
The British Army on that day shot into a defenceless crowd, as if they were killing Indians or Africans. You would have thought 200 years of colonial rule would have filtered itself into military doctrine.
Shallow Apology
CAMERONS GREATEST MOMENT.
That is why U2 the rock band called their song sunday bloody sunday
I am absolutely no fan of Cameron's, but I have to give him credit here. He did the right thing and made a bold, clear apology. No minced words.
Credit where credit is due David Cameron has apologised, on to the enquiry and here's to justice for bloody Sunday x
Never seen an English PM act so honestly.
Fair play, at least he spoke out
Well done Prime Minister Cameron

It’s sad but as an American I envy the relationship between the nations leader and the electorate. I can’t see an American President doing this so publicly for any military action in the last 50 years.
I wish that the British Government would apologise for all the deaths since the troubles that have happened. The troubles caused those on mainland Britian to hate the Northern Irish and the Southern Irish and much sorrow has been caused by it.
you gotta start somewhere
One of the most important documentaries about the campaign.
After watching the movie 'Bloody Sunday ' starring James Nesbitt' if events played out as the movie portrayed then clearly the commander of that para outfit wants time in the stockade because there were unarmed civilians gunned down, however being English myself I must ask was it accurate as the film showed or what? It was really well made and realistic but like I say "was it true to actual events?
We were cheering in the south aswell!
I was cheering in England too because even though I am Born and Bred British I have always said that what happened was nothing but Murder, plain and simple.
Now arrest and convict the murderers responsible for this atrocity. Strip all those soldiers who have since died of any rank and merit, and dishonourably discharge the lot of them. Good riddance to scum .
Why do people even comment, like I am, give it up
An apology won’t bring the dead back though
Cameron was always traitor
Zu wenig, zu spät ..
not enough!
Can somebody illuminate me about the people who are coming out at the end of the video?
The families of those killed who’d campaigned for it
@@NoName-mi7bd Thank you.
What's up with the Palestinian flag in Ireland ?
israel stole part of palestine britain stole part of ireland so the IRA and PLO have the same struggle to get there country back just in different parts of the world
they support each other
because what the Brits did to us the Israelis are doing to Palestine
@@bigmoneyjackson2385 Britain is the reason Israel exists, dickhead.
Because we love Palestine, they're just like us and we're just like them
The counties are still occupied though. If I rob a bank and shoot someone in the process and keep my money, what's the point in apologising? This is the same situation with the 6 counties, no point in apologising for how you took them when you still have them
Why are they so excited what did this even accomplish?
an apology by the british government and a report declaring that the 14 men killed on bloody sunday by the british army were actually innocent, not guilty
@tf_10 who was held accountable?compensation? Did they just said oopsie doopsie our bad? Are they ever gonna apologise to the countries they ruined?
@@fromthelab258 The government put themselves accountable for the crimes of bloody sunday, you would know this if you have watched the video
No, they didnt say it was an oopsie our bad. They conducted a report, acknowledging their wrongdoings from the british army and they authorised to clear the names of the 14 men who were killed on bloody sunday
And yes, britain already apologised to some nations they exploited, for example they apologised to kenya.
But britain still has to apologise to many other nations
But just because britain didnt apologise to other countries for their wrong doings, doesnt mean its wrong for them to apologise to the people of derry
And it only took us 40 years to get an apology from the tans. Are they gonna apologise for extending the violence and murder by decades single handed?
empty words
Time to leave the island forever you bastards!Fair play to Cameron👍
pathetic apology
Lock of the para soldiers!!!
Social Distancing People social distancing
Hilarious
Well done David Cameron, about time. Now its time for an apology for the Hyde Park massacre in London from the IRA.
now its time for the famine apology for the horrible mismanegment which led to over a million irish dead and the black and tans apology oh and the de roofing and the penal laws.
yourlocallidil l except that was fucking centuries ago when Britain still put value on a monarch. The system wasn’t good but it was eventually fixed. That was the same government who were racist, homophobic and sexist. You don’t apologise for something that has been changed and accepted for wrong. Like the German government today apologising for the holocaust
Daniel Matchett Britain system was never good
yeah, and the British government should apologize for supporting the UVF for intentionally murdering more than a thousand civilians
@@DoctorDeath147 Agreed.
Boris johnson half asleep in the back
Bonjour la première L :)
If the British Government is ultimately. responsible for why have not the British Soldiers guilty not been lifted and tried for Murder. Bloody Sunday was a Mass Murder and these eejits are still out and about ...
If you want to try people, you would have to try the UK government, the IRA, the protestors shooting and throwing objects and even the whole crowd for an illegal gathering. Not the soldiers for defending themselves or dispersing the illegal gathering.The so called responsibility is nice talk. Political. That's all.
Why the Palestinian flag????
Irish Republicans tend to identity and sympathize with the Palestinian struggle, seeing themselves in Palestinians resisting Israeli Colonialism.
Palestine is under imperial occupation by the state of Israel, just as the north of Ireland is under occupation by the United Kingdom. Shared struggle.
I guess it's a similar struggle
Grant Neal except 60% of Northern Ireland wants to be in the United Kingdom. Very different to the situation in Israel and Palestine
@Evan Scollan why would you include the whole island of Ireland on a decision that only affects Northern Ireland? That’s like getting England to vote on whether or not Scotland should become independent
The IRA should be apologising!
Ye invaded us. Don't kick the hornets nest

Can't wait to see what the IRA do next. Guess we'll have a new use for Predator Drones
Do they really need the Palestine flags
Yes. We identify with each other. Ireland and Palestine are ally’s fighting against occupation
disgusting the army was wright and David should have supported them
No they weren't. They were invaders in another country firing indiscriminately at unarmed civilians. They were guilty, and the only shame is that this inquiry, while it had honest findings, is yet another sham in that there were _no_ punishments for those responsible.
Bob Papadopoulos northern Ireland is part of Britain so how are they invaders
They killed civilians. That is not self defence.
@@douglastaggart8707 You do know the history of Ireland, right?
Mr Cameron's speech is indeed politically expedient, but it says nothing about the rights of an officer of the law to defend himself or his colleagues. Those of the armed IRA did defend themselves, but they caused the unarmed protesters to be shot. They are the ones responsible for this tragedy.
Well I hope that mr Cameron's sympathizers, and supporters of the 'apology', will reconsider their stand against law and order. October 1st 2017, Vegas, USA, clearly illustrates what happens when law enforcement personnel pussy foot with permissive behaviour. Yes the law enforcers at Derry 1972 killed 14 people of an unruly, armed, illegal gathering bolstered by the deadly IRA. The IRA are responsible for that tragedy...not the law enforcers. On Sunday last 58 innocent people as well as the killer, 59 total, lost their lives because of negligent law enforcement.Now who should be apologising to who?
The people who held the guns were responsible for the murders. No more, no less. You can dress it up however you want to but that truth is obvious to the world. What the British Army did that day was sick. It was inexcusable. They opened fire on unarmed civilians without warning. Those people never had a chance. Many were shot in the back of head while they crawled away. On the ground. Unarmed. More were killed while they ran from the safety of cover to HELP the injured or dying. It's disgusting. It was cold blooded murder. How dare you try to shift the blame and excuse it. You're sick.
@@jackanderson1534 Interesting! Rhodesian doomer has now become Jack Anderson. Intersting indeed.
@@melchristensen8282 Lets get certain things abundantly clear. The loss of human life is tragic. It cannot be retreived.
Why did the results found in the investigations ,that were highlighted in Mr Cameron's apology, not lead to trials and convictions of the military-law enforcement "offenders"???
Why did these produce a different picture from earlier years' results???
Why did Mr Cameron speak about small arms fire from the crowd ,but negate the justification for a return of fire???
If there is evidence of murder /manslaughter, why apologise! Should such not result in arrests; even 40 years after!! And let us not forget that the gathering, at that time, was illegal.And do not forget the a New York police officer expert in ballistics, involved in an earlier investigation, concluded that lethal fire upon the crowd must have been coming from positions other than the soldiers accused, as well. And a lady formal Irish politician who held office as a representative of the government promoted a claim that British authorities planed the affair. Indeed very conflic ting postulates.
So Mr Cameron's apology is empty political talk. It has an expediency as far as British-Irish relations is concerned.But does it bring about justice in his local setting??? Does it promote justice worldwide??? Do you know that over 700 police officers were injured in the USA during protests, last year, 2020. Not to mention the wonton destruction of property in the billions,and the loss of, it is claimed, at least 30 lives.
It is simple. Law enforcement is for the protection of populations. If law enforcers are not protecting, they must be replaced. If they become felons, they must be convicted. And a felon must be, proven thus.
An apology for a crime never proven to be a crime, is a very very dangerous affair. Put away political jargon. Use investigative findings to prove, or acquit of crime. The world has enough heresay, and when it comes to life and death matters,people in authority do not apologize for their charges innocence. And if they are going to apologize for the misconduct of a law enforceing army grouping, the misconduct must first be established to have been criminal ,by a court.
Mr Cameron is not a Judge. His apology is baseless. It promotes good inter island British Irish relations, but it does not foster a spirit of law abideing character worldwide.When criminals can count upon being bailed out of their misdeeds, and the innocent, being presumed to be guilty, by authorities who do not administer justice, you are going to have a black and blue lives matter USA. When law enforcement looks too far from potential crime, you are going to have those who are lawless causing death to 59, even 100 in a couple of minutes.
Solid facts Mister; forget your childish accusations. This is a life and death affair.If anyone should apologize, it would be the organizers of that crowd gathering on Bloody Sunday. Being politically bent, they knew the risks the crowd would face, it being illegal. I hold firm, Mr Cameron's apology is baseless, and does nothing to promote a law abiding world community
@@ianseniormorrison I think you know the answer already
Now that we have an even bloodier Sunday, Oct1 , 2017 in Vegas, people should not be too quick to condemn law enforcement officials in the line of duty
There was a gunman shooting up the place in Vegas. These people were marching in a peaceful protest, literally just walking down the streets of their hometown and the police open fired on them
Only they weren't law enforcement agencies though we're they? They were the parachute regiment. Hardly the right people for the job, unless of course you are looking for a mess
