This tweet got me thinking about films or television shows filmed in, set in and/or depicting Derry or the north-west of Ireland. 'Derry Girls', 'Bloody Sunday', 'A Mother Bring Her Son to Be Shot' and 'Battle of the Bogside' immediately spring to mind, but what others are there? https://twitter.com/profmusgrave/status/1262157088870076417
I'm guessing the 1998 film 'Dancing at Lughnasa', starring Meryl Streep, is set in Donegal? I've not seen it, but since the 1990 Brian Friel play, upon which the film is based, is set in a fictional Donegal town called Ballybeg (based on Glenties), I assume the film follows suit.
'Battle of the Bogside' (2004), a @VinnyCunningham documentary looking at residents' defence of Bogside against RUC and loyalist incursion in August of 1969, at outset of "Troubles", that won "best documentary" at 2004 @IFTA Awards, is actually on YouTube.
'Bloody Sunday' (2002) by Paul Greengrass and starring @JNesbittTV is on YouTube too.

Something I hadn't known until now; James Lifford Hewitt (Prince Harry's alleged biological father, who was actually born in Derry) features as a British army colonel.
