Hunger is an intimate portrayal of life in Northern Ireland’s Maze Prison at the time of the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike, led by Bobby Sands. The film explores what happens when the morality of people, whether prisoners or prison guards, is tested to the limit, when the body itself is used as a weapon for people not being heard.

Co-written by Enda Walsh and Steve McQueen, produced by Laura Hastings-Smith and Robin Gutch, stars Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands, Liam Cunningham as Father Dominic Moran and Stuart Graham as prison officer Raymond Lohan. The cast also includes Brian Milligan, Liam McMahon and Lalor Roddy.
