A Matter of Minutes captures the experiences of thirty-three people whose lives were changed forever by the events of Bloody Sunday. Photojournalist Joanne O'Brien paints a stark and stunning picture of bravery, endurance, and survival-not only on January 30, 1972, but also in succeeding decades that were lived in the shadow of that disastrous day. On January 30, 1972, Damien Donaghy collapsed on a Derry side-street-not a victim of CS gas nor of rubber bullets, but of the gunfire that pierced the air on that sunny afternoon. In less than forty-five minutes, the city was changed forever. In an utterly unexpected British Army operation, live ammunition was fired into an unsuspecting and terrified crowd of Civil Rights demonstrators.
