Forgive Us Our Trespasses(2022)

Forgive Us Our Trespasses is a short film examining the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings, one of the deadliest attacks on English soil during the Troubles. On November 21, a Provisional IRA cell carried out coordinated bombings that killed 21 people and injured over 180. Rather than glorifying the attack, the film pulls back the curtain on the operational chaos behind it—the miscalculations, logistical failures, and internal tensions that defined the cell's planning and execution. By focusing on these human errors and fractured dynamics, the film offers a stark, unglamorous portrait of how violence unfolds, stripping away any romantic notions of terrorism. It's a sobering look at a pivotal moment in British and Irish history, told through the lens of those who carried it out.
