Hunger
Follows life in the Maze Prison of Northern Ireland, with an interpretation of the highly emotive events surrounding the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike led by Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender). With a stunning eye for detail, the film provides a timely exploration of what happens when body and mind are pushed to the limit and what would make surviving worthwhile. 'A film that dazzles and challenges with equal measure' - Empire.
