Hunger! .... it was striking!



".... disturbing, emotional, moving, most definitely riveting stuff, although certainly not for the faint hearted wanting to enjoy a Saturday night at the cinema. It was also for me, hauntingly familiar. Dark, grey, intimidating surroundings, hostile environment, a surreal experience, for many a defining moment in their young lives, and for some, their final experience of life, synonymous with a intense battle of wills, irresistible force pitted against the immovable object."

SIN, the Students Union here at NUIG sent me to see Hunger, the new film about hunger-striker Bobby Sands to see what I thought of it, and also to see what memories it brought of my own time as a prisoner in Long Kesh.
