This document provides an analysis of the 2000 film "Hunger" directed by Steve McQueen. It examines how the film represents concepts of conflict, power and authority, borders and belonging, and stereotypes through its characters and narrative structure. Specifically, it looks at how the opening sequence constructs Britishness in opposition to how Republican prisoners are represented. It also analyzes the prisoners' reaction to Bobby Sands' hunger strike protest and their need to belong while fighting for their cause.
