Parade Scene Question


At the end, during the St. Patty's parade, there's a scene with people marching, holding faces of people. Who are they? What is the significance?

reply

I believe it was of soldier's who had died in a war....the marchers were the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars).

Thanks

Literally 2 seconds before there are two people carrying a banner in front of the line of people with faces. "Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign"

If none of those words mean anything to you, I suggest google and some time reading.

They were victims of The Bloody Sunday Massacre, an unarmed protest against English presence in their region by Northern Irish led to multiple shootings…14 people were shot to death and over a dozen more injured by the British Army

It’s still considered a very tragic event 50 years later
