SUNDAY

As GMT emerged out of Gaslight Productions, essentially our first project is the drama documentary film SUNDAY for Channel 4 Television. The film was broadcast in January 2002 and has been seen by 2.5 million people in Ireland & Great Britain. It was also broadcast in Australia, Canada and a number of European countries. SUNDAY tells the story of the events of Sunday 30th January 1972 (Bloody Sunday) primarily from the perspective of the people who suffered it.  It won Best Single Drama at the prestigious ‘Prix Italia’ awards ceremony in Sicily 2002. It was one of only four dramas nominated that year for Best TV Drama at the International Emmy awards in New York 2002 and won Best Single Drama at Irish Film and Television Academy Awards in Belfast in 2003.

In reaching their decision the ‘Prix Italia’ jury said:

“’Sunday’ proposes a human drama of great emotional impact, backed up by solid direction that sees beyond the specific conflict, to identify a value – justice – that is essential for co-existence and healthy relationships inside a constantly changing society, which is increasingly having to come to terms with the new and the different.”
