ballymurphy massacre inquest, film and channel 4 documentary

[urban genie]

Saw this on Channel 4 yesterday, and tbh had never heard about it before.

The inquest into the killings of 11 Irish Catholics in the Ballymurphy in 71 has opened and to coincide a film was released in Ireland and the UK telling of the events which has also been shortened to a documentary being shown this weekend on Ch4.




Looks interesting and worth a watch for those interested in political history

Yet here you are starting it off?

What a bizarre first post to make?

Well as a story that is rarely heard of and the ramifications of the aftermath of the operations in those 2 years (70-71), I think it will be an interesting watch, whichever your political stance.

Very interesting. Knew nothing about this. Using Paras in this situation was a huge mistake and the ramifications from that mistake were immense. Thanks for the heads up @urban genie
