Hunger

A gut-wrenching, hard-to-watch, compelling, factually based, 96-minute 2008 film about the inhumanely treated, emaciated, beaten political prisoners (Liam McMahon, Brian Milligan, Dennis McCambridge, et al.) who were forced to reside in feces-smeared cells at Maze Prison in Belfast in Northern Ireland, and the IRA-fueled, abused prisoner Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender) who went on an agonizing 66-day hunger strike in 1981 that ultimately ended in his death and subsequently, his nomination to the British Parliament and the deaths of nine additional inmates.
