Bogside Story
Directed by Rocco Forte and Pietro Laino2018 75m
The photojournalist Fulvio Grimaldi, as the only Italian eyewitness, documented the peaceful march for civil rights through the Bogside in Derry on the 30th of January 1972 that ended with the tragedy known as Bloody Sunday, travels to Northern Ireland 45 years later to give evidence on the third inquiry about Bloody Sunday. In Derry, he discovers that the external walls of the houses located in Rossville Street are painted with the most important events of the 'Troubles' and the struggle for civil rights in the seventies. Grimaldi, fascinated by the communicative power of the murals, one of them inspired by his iconic photograph of Bloody Sunday, gets in touch with The Bogside Artists and the people who were involved in the events depicted on the murals. The meeting between Fulvio Grimaldi and The Bogside Artists leads to a journey through the past and the present full of history, arts and deep emotions.
