The Ballymurphy Precedent (2018) User Reviews

Historical documentary drama

[fionaw2019 · 9/10 · 4 June 2019]

Went to the cinema to see this with friends who were unaware of these past events, other than what they'd seen on the news in recent years. It was a thought provoking and emotive film. There were a few tears shed to say the least!

My wife, baby daughter and myself lived through this in 1971

This film is historically accurate. The loss of life and the terror inflicted on the local Catholic/Nationalist population by the paratrooper regiment is captured truthfully. The bereaved families of those killed in Ballymurphy still fight for justice after nearly fifty years of a British Government cover up.

[maura-97251 · 10/10 · 2 June 2019]

I was stunned watching this film. I can't believe people didn't know all this happened. I certainly didn't. Worth watching, plenty of historical information. Heartbreaking in parts.

Unmissable

[clwright-90275 · 10/10 · 4 June 2019]

A very informative and hard hitting documentary presenting the harsh reality of the events surrounding the Ballymurphy massacre.

Unbelievable!

[swiftleeone · 10/10 · 3 June 2019]

Still difficult to understand how so called 'peacekeepers' behaved this way and their superiors thought it was okay.

Pathetic

[alid-88020 · 1/10 · 20 September 2018]

One sided and lacking 50% of the facts, another attempt to rewrite history.

Eye opener and a heartbreaker!

Compelling balanced film by a talented film maker!
