This resulted in 14 men being killed by British soldiers and seventeen more injured, a day that would become known as Bloody Sunday.
The documentary will see people from across Derry and Ireland come together to remember those who died through music, song, theatre shows and art exhibitions.
On June 15, 2010, the Bloody Sunday victims received an apology from Prime Minister David Cameron on behalf of the British Government, admitting the killings were "unjustified and unjustifiable".
Earlier this year, MyDerry spoke with the families about their struggle over the last 50 years.
