Trailer

Plot summary

Northern Ireland, 1981. IRA prisoners in the Maze Prison protest the way they are held, insisting on prisoner-of-war status rather than treatment as criminals. Bobby Sands leads them, and the men give up food to press the claim. Kathleen Quigley and Annie Higgins are the mothers of two of the men inside, Gerard Quigley and Frank Higgins, and they work to keep their sons alive. When the striking men can no longer act for themselves, each mother faces the same decision: abide by the wish her son has stated, or oppose it and ask the authorities to have him fed by force.
