Discover how Hollywood's portrayal of the Troubles measures up to real events.

Covering the Belfast Riots and the first deployment of British troops to Northern Ireland in 1969, the Bloody Sunday Massacre of 1972, and the Provisional IRA’s bombing of London in 1973, we unveil the stark differences and similarities between cinema and reality. 00:00 Introduction 01:57 1.
