Featuring an unforgettable performance by Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands, HUNGER follows life in the Maze Prison, Northern Ireland, with an interpretation of the highly emotive events surrounding the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike. With an epic eye for detail, renowned visual artist Steve McQueen (in his feature filmmaking debut) provides a timely exploration of what happens when body and mind are pushed to the uttermost limit.
