Hunger

Experience one of the most acclaimed, honoured and talked-about independent films of the decade. In his startling directorial debut, artist Steve McQueen focuses on a prison guard, two inmates, and the hunger strike led by Irish Republican Army militant Bobby Sands (an extraordinary performance by Michael Fassbender of 300 and Inglorious Basterds) to tell a devastating story of political warfare and human dignity pushed to their uttermost limits. Liam Cunningham (THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY) co-stars in the modern masterpiece that Rolling Stone calls "indelibly moving, an artistic triumph you can see, touch and feel."
