The commemorative edition features interviews and reflections as relatives of some of those killed or wounded in Derry’s Bogside on January 30, 1972, and others who were there that day, look back on the impact Bloody Sunday has had on their lives, their families, their city and beyond over the five decades.

The edition carries the thoughts of many prominent figures from Derry and across Ireland as they reflect on Bloody Sunday, and the bravery and dignity of the Bloody Sunday families during their long campaign.
