FILM SERIES: "Northern Ireland and the Troubles" at 3:15 p.m., Friday, Feb. 2, in 201
Newton Hall. On January 30, 1972, one of the most notorious episodes in the
turbulent history of Northern Ireland occurred in the city of Londonderry. In the midst of a march to protest the
British government's suspension of due process rights for suspected Irish Republican Army supporters, British
soldiers fired on protestors and
killed 13 civilians.
Although controversy surrounds the events of "Bloody Sunday", it is universally recognized as a key date
in the history of Northern Ireland. Coinciding with the 35th anniversary of
Bloody Sunday, this February, eight Geneseo students will be present a series
on the history of the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland. These students spent the fall 2006 semester participating in
a directed reading group on the Troubles, exploring firsthand accounts and
scholarly works on sectarian conflict and the civil rights movement in Northern
Ireland. On Friday, February 2,
the students will present a 90-minute introduction to the history of Northern
Ireland and the Troubles, followed by screenings of three films about the
Troubles on subsequent Friday afternoons (a complete schedule and summary of
the films follows). A short
student presentation outlining the historical context will precede each film
and there will be time for discussion at the end of the sessions. For more
information, contact Joe Cope at cope@geneseo.edu.
