• Summary
  

  Turner-award winning British artist McQueen explores, in excruciatingly close-up and traumatizing detail, exactly what it was like to be a prisoner in Long Kesh prison in 1981, where Bobby Sands starved himself to death in protest of the way Irish prisoners were being treated by the British. The film doesn’t include much in the way of the typical biopic trappings, choosing instead to witness what happens when a body starves to death, day by day and (seemingly) hour by hour, in captivity. Not for the faint of heart.
