Bobby Sands: 66 Days (2016)
By the early 1980s, after two decades of violence and unrest, the situation in Northern Ireland took a sudden and profound turn inside the infamous Maze Prison. Seeking the right to be treated as political prisoners rather than common criminals, Irish Republicans led by Bobby Sands began a prison hunger strike that would draw international attention to the conflict. In the 66 days that he refused food, Sands would be elected to the British Parliament, put the Irish Republican struggle centre stage on the world news agenda, and pay the ultimate price for his political convictions. The film combines a powerful mosaic of archival materials, reconstructions and the illuminating accounts of former prisoners, commentators and key players in the drama. With Sands’s evocative prison diary at its core, the film brings fresh insight to an iconic figure who single-handedly created a transformative moment in Ireland’s history that had global aftershocks.

Would you do what it takes to free your people?
Thanks. I have never heard of this documentary or the movie. Adding them to our watch list.
FYI the links above take you to a website that has pornographic images on it when you scroll down. Hunger is available on www.flixtor.to, but not 66 Days.
The conviction and bravery displayed by this real man is inspiring. All for freedom. Simple freedom. And the British Empire would not give it.
