Storyline
Featured review
A very powerful insight into the heroics of the '81 Hunger Striekrs in Long Kesh. The film is not an OTT Hollywood Blockbuster which stops it encumbering the real life predicament faced by these martyrs; be prepared to die, or be treated like criminals.
Although he film has a republican bias, it does give an idea as to the conditions faced by both sides of the divide in Her Majesty's excuse for a prison.
Some may feel the portrayal of Bobby Sands takes away from he mythical iconic figure he is portrayed as in republican Ireland, otherwise a terrific film
