CAPITOL HILL. Tuesday, June 4, 2019— Irish-Americans—and all Americans of goodwill in the greater Washington area—should not miss this hugely important film The Ballymurphy Precedent: about the Ballymurphy Massacre, when the British Army slaughtered 10 innocent civilians, including a mother of eight and the local Catholic priest, over a 3-day period in Belfast in August 1971… It was a brutal, calculated act of State-terrorism, sadly   setting the course for the next 30 years.Please see this link sent to me by the film’s esteemed Director,Callum Macrae http://pulitzercenter.org/event/ballymurphy-precedent-us-premierePlease rally to the cause of justice, show solidarity, and come to this film, described  by Total Film as:“An astonishing documentary ….urgent, angry and moral, this is top tier film-making.” The Guardian calls it “Impressive..shocking….a desperately sad film”. Director Macrae looks forward to seeing us all at his film.Fr.
