Description:
In the early 1980s, following years of conflict, a pivotal moment occurred within Northern Ireland's Maze Prison. Irish Republicans, led by Bobby Sands, initiated a hunger strike to demand political prisoner status, bringing international attention to the conflict. During his 66-day fast, Sands was elected to the British Parliament, placing the Irish Republican struggle at the forefront of global news and ultimately sacrificing his life for his beliefs. The film uses archival footage, reconstructions, and firsthand accounts from former prisoners, commentators, and key figures to explore this event. Centered on Sands's prison diary, it offers a new perspective on a figure who sparked a transformative moment in Irish history with worldwide impact.
