Hunger	comment	Hunger is a 2008 Irish-British historical drama film, the first to be directed by artist Steve McQueen and the first of several collaborations between McQueen and actor Michael Fassbender.It revolves around the Maze Prison during The Troubles, and the various ways they protest to regain their political status (revoked by the British government in 1976), starting with "no-wash" protests and ending in a hunger strike — as led by Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands (Fassbender).Hunger premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, winning the Caméra d'Or award (an honor for first-time filmmakers) as well as several more awards throughout the 2008-2009 European circuit.Not to be confused with the [PROTOTYPE] fanfic of the same name, or with the 1974 animated short Hunger, or with the 1983 movie The Hunger.

Hunger / int_a1b141f4	comment	My God, What Have I Done?: During the riot squad scene, the focus subtly shifts to one officer who seems more antsy and erratic than the rest. When he gets headbutted by a prisoner, he immediately lashes out, beating the prisoner viciously with his nightstick. We then see him isolated outside of the room, breaking down in tears, horrified at his actions.

Prison officer Raymond Lohan is visiting his catatonic mother in her nursing home...before an IRA assassin calmly walks in and puts a bullet in his head.
