November 3, 2002 'Bloody Sunday' & The Wild Geese
From Don Mullan

Dear Friends,
You may be interested in checking out this forum being hosted by The Wild Geese. Perhaps you would consider passing it onto people in your address book who might also be interested.

Thank you again,
Don

WHY 'BLOODY SUNDAY' MATTERS
http://www.thewildgeese.com/pages/mullan.html

Thirty years after the British army shot 27 protesters and onlookers in
Derry, the struggle of the victims' families for the truth has finally
borne fruit. The Saville Commission will render a verdict, yes, but the
gunmen also face the court of public opinion -- in movie houses across the
continent. Author Don Mullan tells us why seeing this film matters.

No, it's not that we're too cheap to pay for our own. We want all of
America to see this extraordinarily powerful film. So go, then send us your
ticket to enter one of our weekly drawings to win an autographed film
poster or a copy of the book that inspired the film. Paramount Classics and
WGT also are giving away a pair of tickets each week. So no excuses! And
stay tuned for some great new features related to "Bloody Sunday," both the
movie and the searing date in Irish history. ONLY ON WGT -- NOW THROUGH
DEC. 17. Check the film's rollout schedule for a venue near you.
