Synopsis:
On 12 August 1969, the disaffected Catholic population of the
Bogside district of Derry, Northern Ireland, took to the
streets in the wake of a Protestant Apprentice Boys parade in the
city. The riots continued for three days and ended when British
troops were deployed, a decision that was to shape the future of
Northern Ireland for over thirty years. This film takes us 'behind
the barricades' on both sides to reveal the inside stories
surrounding the battle.
