Storyline
Hunger follows life in Northern Ireland's maximum security Maze prison with an interpretation of the highly emotive events surrounding the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike, led by Bobby Sands. With an epic eye for detail, the film provides a timely exploration of what happens when body and mind are pushed to the uttermost limit. Opera prima from the director and screenwriter Steve McQueen.
