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, Tyneside Cinema and many more cinemas. The film is now available directly from Rainbow Collective.

Why community screenings?

At Rainbow Collective, we believe documentaries are made to be seen, discussed and shared.

Some of the most memorable screenings we’ve experienced haven’t taken place in cinemas. They’ve happened in community centres, libraries, trade union halls, churches and people’s living rooms, where conversations continue long after the credits have rolled.

Rather than restrict these screenings, we’ve chosen to encourage them.

By purchasing this edition, you’re also supporting the future of independent documentary filmmaking. Every sale helps fund Rainbow Collective’s next films while enabling communities everywhere to continue organising conversations around the issues that matter most.

Please note

This licence is intended for non-commercial community screenings.

If you’re organising a screening on behalf of a university, school, college, charity, NGO, trade union, festival, cinema, museum or any other organisation, or for audiences larger than 50 people, please purchase the Organisation & Educational Screening Licence instead.

If you’re unsure which licence is right for your screening, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we’re always happy to help.

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.
