Hunger (2008)
Für die einen ist er ein Held und Märtyrer, für die anderen ein Terrorist oder ein gewöhnlicher Krimineller. Bobby Sands ist 1981 im Alter von 27 Jahren im Maze-Gefängnis in Nordirland verhungert – aus freiem Willen. Mit seinem Tod wollte er die britische Regierung zur Anerkennung der IRA-Häftlinge als politische Gefangene zwingen. Nacheinander sind ihm noch neun Mithäftlinge in den Hungertod gefolgt. Sands starb am 5. Mai 1981. Fünf Monate später erlaubte die britische Regierung den Gefangenen, Zivilkleidung zu tragen. Auch die meisten übrigen Forderungen wurden in der Folgezeit erfüllt, wenn die IRA-Häftlinge auch nie offiziell als politische Gefangene anerkannt wurden.
