Hunger
“An odyssey, in which the smallest gestures become epic and when the body is the last resource for protest.”
DramaHistory
The story of Bobby Sands, the IRA member who led the 1981 hunger strike during The Troubles in which Irish Republican prisoners tried to win political status.
VIBE
This is a profoundly grim and unflinching examination of human endurance and political defiance. It feels starkly real, almost suffocating, as it slowly immerses you in a world of unyielding will and visceral suffering. The intensity builds with a quiet, harrowing power, leaving a lasting, somber impression.
