The Must-See

Hunger (2008) chronicles the final weeks in the life of Bobby Sands, the leader of the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike in Norther Ireland.

Kevin Cullen says: Steve McQueen's meditation on the 1981 republican hunger strikes, "Hunger," and Michael Fassbender's haunting portrayal of Bobby Sands (left) makes this the best film done on the subject. Fassbender starved himself like Sands, and it is painful to watch his emaciated body waste away.
