Hunger

The film "Hunger" (2008) is a powerful biographical drama about Bobby Sands, an IRA member who led the 1981 hunger strike in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. Directed by Steve McQueen, it depicts the squalid conditions and brutal treatment of Irish republican prisoners at Maze Prison, including police brutality and forced humiliation. As Sands' health declines due to his prolonged hunger strike, he finds solace in conversation with a Catholic priest, sharing stories about animal suffering and ultimately dying at 27, 66 days into the strike.
