Steve McQueen, Hunger

Steve McQueen is the British Turner Prize-winning artist who makes
an award-winning feature film debut directing the disturbing
Hunger, a chronicle of Bobby Sands' grisly death as
the hunger striking IRA prisoner. If McQueen doesn't show much
humor about his Hollywood namesake, he is open and candid about the
hurdles he faced, the goals he wanted and what he realized with this
movie which won the Camera D'Or for Best First Film, when it
world premiered at Cannes last May.
