Two films depicting the events of Derry's Bloody Sunday, 30 January 1972, were premiered this week in Derry. The first, a Granada Television drama entitled "Bloody Sunday" shown in the city on Sunday night, was built around the character of Civil Rights campaigner and SDLP Stormont MP Ivan Cooper.

Writing for the tabloid The Daily Mail under the heading "Bloody Fantasy" historian Ruth Dudley-Edwards and another Mail journalist made a number of spurious claims about the film?s accuracy. The articles have led to a call for a boycott of the Daily Mail and other papers in the Mail group, including Ireland on Sunday, according to the Derry News and the BBC.
