On 30 January 1972, soldiers from the British Army's 1st Parachute Regiment opened fire on unarmed and peaceful civilian demonstrators in the Bogside, Derry, Ireland, near the Rossville flats, killing 13 and wounding a number of others. One wounded man later died from illness attributed to that shooting.
The march, which was called to protest internment, was "illegal" according to British government authorities. Internment without trial was introduced by the British government on August 9, 1971.
The British-government-appointed Widgery Tribunal found soldiers were not guilty of shooting dead the 13 civilians in cold blood. Thirty-five years later and still no justice.Show times -- 4:30 PM, 6:45 PM (followed by a short question-and-answer session) and 9:15 PM. $7.00 admission

What's really appalling and disgusting is how those in ranks of those who pull the triggers in these incidents get awarded, decorated and promoted after these incidents. Those jack-booted (or combat-booted, as appropriate) thugs who are justifiably killed or wounded by their intended victims have buildings and statues named after them, as well as showy, flashy memorial services paid for by their intended victims.
2. The IFC will have one or more representatives as guests on The Weekly Sedition on 24 January 2007 from 8 PM to 9 PM to promote the 30 January showings.
