Film: Hunger, Channel 4, 10.05pm

[NO SUNSHINE]

Just a heads up.TV premiere. Supposed to be very good.It's about how the British government allowed an elected MP (and several others) to starve himself to death in a filthy prison cell rather than give them basic political rights.

Hunger is a 2008 film about the 1981 Irish hunger strike. It is written by Enda Walsh and Steve McQueen, who also directed.[1] It was made by Blast! Films and commissioned by Channel 4 and Film4. It premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival,[2] winning the prestigious Caméra d'Or award for first-time filmmakers.[3] It went on to win the Sydney Film Prize at the Sydney Film Festival, best picture by the Evening Standard British Film Awards, and received 2 BAFTA nominations, winning one. The film was also nominated for 8 awards at the 2009 IFTA's winning 6 at the event.[4]

I don't really understand what this means cos, like, this film is set in 1981.SlashWhere in the UK has any other group been treated as badly in the last 50 years? Muslims yeah?But if you've had to go 70 days without food cos the british government was denying you civil rights then feel free to share innit.

[Alejandro Sosa]

Dont really care tbh You let your country down with that reply though mate
