Synopsis

Derry, 1972. As the civil rights movement across the North of Ireland begins to secure unprecedented victories, the British state responds with lethal force, killing fourteen people and beginning a decades-long struggle for truth, justice and accountability.

From the acclaimed directors of To Kill A War Machine, The Day Innocence Died tells the story of the Bloody Sunday massacre through those who lived it, weaving previously unheard testimony with remarkable archive footage into an intimate and cinematic documentary about one of the defining moments in modern Irish history.

Following a successful theatrical release across the UK and Ireland—including screenings at Omniplex Cinemas, Glasgow Film Theatre, The Garden Cinema, Curzon Dock House, FACT Liverpool, Phoenix Cinema and Tyneside Cinema—the film is now available for educational, organisational and public screenings.

Why organisational screenings?

At Rainbow Collective, we believe documentaries should live beyond the cinema.

Some of the most important conversations happen in universities, schools, museums, trade unions, charities and community organisations, where films become catalysts for learning, discussion and social change.

This screening package has been created to make it simple for organisations to host screenings of The Day Innocence Died, while directly supporting the future of independent documentary filmmaking.

Every organisational screening of The Day Innocence Died helps fund Rainbow Collective’s next documentaries and the ongoing work of the Bloody Sunday Trust and the Museum of Free Derry, enabling us to continue telling stories that might not otherwise be made and to keep the story of Bloody Sunday alive as an act of remembrance and as an inspiration to others who are fighting injustice.

Support Our Work

Rainbow Collective is an independent documentary collective. Every film we make is produced independently and funded through a combination of direct sales, crowdfunding and the support of our Patreon community.

Unlike many production companies, we don’t wait for broadcaster commissions or large funding grants before beginning work. Many of our documentaries start with months of research, filming and relationship-building before we’re in a position to access traditional funding, if we access it at all.

That’s why Patreon is so important to us.

The regular support of our members allows us to begin new documentaries, respond to events as they happen and remain independent throughout the filmmaking process.

If you’d like to support our work and follow our documentaries from their earliest stages, we’d love to have you with us.
