When The Body Is The Last Resource For Protest – Hunger
Steve McQueen‘s “Hunger” had its premiere at last year’s Cannes Film Festival opening the ‘Un Certain Regard‘ category. The movie had great reviews and McQueen won Golden Camera. Today, Steve McQueen, the first-time filmmaker, has its collection of 15 Awards for “Hunger” as director or co-writer (the screenplay was written by McQueen and Enda Walsh) and Michael Fassbender has 5 Awards for Best Actor for lead role (Bobby Sands) in the movie.
British artist Steve McQueen makes his big-screen debut with “Hunger,” an account of the 1981 hunger strike in Northern Ireland’s Maze prison. Take a look at video about making of “Hunger” and video interview with director Steve McQueen below.
The film follows the last six weeks in the life of Republican Bobby Sands, who died during the strike. It plunges viewers into the world of the early 1980s H-Blocks uprising and of republican prisoner Bobby Sands, who died 66 days into a hunger strike. The film depicts the hellish conditions in the prison, not only through the experiences of the hunger strikers but also through the prison wardens with whom they were in constant battle.
