Belfast terrorism

His semi-autobiographical film 'Belfast' directly explores the personal and communal impact of sectarian violence on a working-class Catholic family during the 1969 uprising.

His films 'Bloody Sunday' and 'The Bourne Supremacy' demonstrate his visceral approach to depicting state violence and terrorism, with 'Bloody Sunday' specifically addressing the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

His documentary work, including films about the Troubles, provides unflinching examination of violence, identity, and sectarian conflict from within Northern Irish communities.
