Hunger
|
| 00:00:49 |
Northern Ireland 1981 |
| 00:00:54 |
2187 people have been killed in "The Troubles" since 1969. |
| 00:01:03 |
The British Government has withdrawn the political status |
| 00:01:11 |
Irish Republicans in the Maze Prison |
| 00:04:19 |
There is a dirty protest, the Blanket Protest, |
| 00:04:22 |
all in support of the same demand: political status. |
| 00:04:26 |
That is to say, |
| 00:04:28 |
hideous crimes, |
| 00:04:31 |
for what they claim to be a political motive |
| 00:04:33 |
and that is what the Government will not grant. |
| 00:05:22 |
So Daniel he eears a noise coming from his Granny's room |
| 00:05:24 |
he runs up to his Granny's room, he opens the door |
| 00:05:26 |
and there's a waifer having a go with his Granny. |
| 00:05:29 |
The naughty fellow turns around and says: |
| 00:08:41 |
There is no such thing as political murder, |
| 00:08:47 |
There is only criminal murder, |
| 00:08:53 |
We will not compromise on this |
| 00:09:31 |
I will not wear the uniform of a criminal. |
| 00:09:34 |
I demand to wear me own clothes. |
| 00:09:38 |
Non-conforming prisoner 08-12-1980 |
| 00:14:01 |
What? |
| 00:14:07 |
What's it you say your name is again ? |
| 00:14:11 |
Gilan. |
| 00:14:15 |
Fancy Quinn. |
| 00:14:19 |
Falls Road. Fancy Quinn. |
| 00:14:24 |
No. |
| 00:14:31 |
How long did you get ? |
| 00:14:33 |
Twelve years. |
| 00:14:38 |
And you? |
| 00:14:44 |
Six years. Six. |
| 00:14:48 |
Aye. |
| 00:14:52 |
You lucky bastard. |
| 00:22:04 |
...the political adviser of Merlin Reese |
| 00:22:09 |
He rejects the official position on phone taps, saying
that there has been only a modest overall increase. |
| 00:22:14 |
and says that Parliament has no way
of knowing how much tapping goes on |
| 00:22:17 |
because the Prime Minister and other senior Ministers
don't even have to get warrants to get a tap put into effect. |
| 00:25:04 |
What ? |
| 00:25:07 |
Get ready. |
| 00:29:49 |
Are you ll right, Bobby? |
| 00:29:54 |
Are they giving you treatment for that ? |
| 00:30:02 |
And the young fellow ? |
| 00:30:04 |
He's a handful, I tell you that. |
| 00:30:08 |
Are you eating all right ? |
| 00:30:11 |
Are they feeding you all right ? |
| 00:30:17 |
Five minutes. |
| 00:30:20 |
Five minutes . |
| 00:30:24 |
You eating all right ? |
| 00:30:27 |
It tastes like shit, doesn't it ? |
| 00:30:35 |
You're looking well. |
| 00:30:38 |
So are you, son. So are you. |
| 00:30:58 |
The righteous cry out. |
| 00:31:01 |
He delivers them from all their troubles. |
| 00:31:04 |
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are Christians first. |
| 00:31:10 |
The righteous man has many troubles, |
| 00:31:16 |
He protects all his bones |
| 00:31:23 |
Evil will slay the wicked and
the foes of the righteous will be condemned. |
| 00:31:29 |
The Lord redeems his servants. |
| 00:31:32 |
No one will be condemned, |
| 00:31:43 |
Let us pray. |
| 00:35:36 |
Damn dirty bastards! |
| 00:36:01 |
I - I - I. R. A. I - I - I. R. A. |
| 00:36:04 |
I - I - I. R. A. I - I - I. R. A. |
| 00:36:57 |
Everything in order ? |
| 00:37:01 |
Very good. |
| 00:38:48 |
John. John! |
| 00:39:15 |
Get the fuck off me. |
| 00:39:25 |
See that? See that? |
| 00:39:27 |
Get the fuck off me. |
| 00:39:31 |
What are you doing to him? |
| 00:39:37 |
Get the fuck off me, you damn ... |
| 00:42:17 |
Hi Mom. |
| 00:42:30 |
Why are you doing sitting in here? |
| 00:43:00 |
Daisies. |
| 00:43:53 |
You can sit down any time you like. |
| 00:43:55 |
Priest etiquette. |
| 00:43:58 |
Sit down, Don. |
| 00:44:00 |
Don't look them over till you're eager. |
| 00:44:05 |
You learned that your first week at the seminary, boy. |
| 00:44:13 |
Cig ? |
| 00:44:19 |
Bit of a break from smoking the Bible, eh? |
| 00:44:27 |
Work out which pick is the best smoke ? |
| 00:44:29 |
We only smoke the Lamentations. Just right for a cigarette. |
| 00:44:34 |
Nice room. |
| 00:44:38 |
Where is it you're from again, Don ? |
| 00:44:41 |
Ballygobackwards. |
| 00:44:43 |
Oh, the city dog. |
| 00:44:46 |
We play south of Ballymonie: Kilrea. |
| 00:44:50 |
I remember a homily you did in March sometime. |
| 00:44:55 |
I'm sure the men hold you in high esteem. |
| 00:44:58 |
You're very quick. |
| 00:45:00 |
No, you're respected, you know that. |
| 00:45:03 |
I like those stories you tell about the countryside. |
| 00:45:05 |
A child held for poaching, robbing apples, stampeding cattle... |
| 00:45:09 |
Fine education for a priest. |
| 00:45:13 |
Stampeding comes in handy down in the Falls Road, eh ? |
| 00:45:15 |
The RUC hate me. |
| 00:45:17 |
You miss it though ? |
| 00:45:18 |
The countryside. |
| 00:45:20 |
I sort of get home and see my wee brother every month or so... |
| 00:45:22 |
but I miss the usual clean air... space, all that. |
| 00:45:27 |
It feels closer to who you are. |
| 00:45:32 |
Something like a fish out of water
working in a big city like Belfast... |
| 00:45:35 |
but it's a job, isn't it ? |
| 00:45:38 |
You stop looking around at your
surroundings quick enough when you figure |
| 00:45:41 |
that your business is the business of the soul and all. |
| 00:45:44 |
Business of the soul ? |
| 00:45:47 |
I'm going down the same way too ? |
| 00:45:51 |
Go on. |
| 00:45:53 |
Well, I suppose what I'm saying is... |
| 00:45:55 |
you get on. |
| 00:45:59 |
Too many scavengers will be saved in Belfast anyway. |
| 00:46:03 |
Should God award you in heaven ? |
| 00:46:05 |
Once there's wine involved. |
| 00:46:10 |
So what does your wee brother do back home ? |
| 00:46:15 |
He is parish priest. |
| 00:46:19 |
He's a sneaky wee bastard. |
| 00:46:22 |
Still goes poaching. |
| 00:46:24 |
And he's younger than me by 8 years all right. |
| 00:46:29 |
As a clergic, I work in a parish beside Kilrea.
We hold the place... |
| 00:46:34 |
working my ass off. |
| 00:46:36 |
Escorting the elderly, mobile confession. |
| 00:46:38 |
The glamorous stuff. |
| 00:46:40 |
So, anyway, the position comes up in Kilrea. |
| 00:46:44 |
And I'm passed over for some reason or other. |
| 00:46:47 |
For taking too much cake off the ladies. |
| 00:46:50 |
So ? |
| 00:46:52 |
So five years later |
| 00:46:56 |
and my brother Michael waltzes right in to it. |
| 00:47:03 |
He is made parish priest at 28. |
| 00:47:05 |
More spiritual probably. Less liberal than you. |
| 00:47:08 |
He worked the bishop. He's a golfer. |
| 00:47:12 |
He's a pushy little twirp, that's what he is. |
| 00:47:15 |
Oh no, I couldn't be that. |
| 00:47:19 |
He has two cars. |
| 00:47:22 |
And the house he has is the most. |
| 00:47:26 |
I'm stuck in a two up two down. |
| 00:47:28 |
with a fat Kerry man who drones
on and on about Gaelic football. |
| 00:47:31 |
Can we stop talking about that ? |
| 00:47:37 |
How's your smoke going ? |
| 00:47:40 |
Filthy habit. Disgusting. |
| 00:47:43 |
Aye. Praise the Lord. |
| 00:47:49 |
28. My God ! |
| 00:47:55 |
So, what happened to your eye, Bobby ? |
| 00:47:58 |
Your eye ? |
| 00:48:01 |
How's the other fellow ? |
| 00:48:06 |
So, what did you call me here for ? |
| 00:48:09 |
Priest etiquette. Start with the small talk. |
| 00:48:11 |
I'm learning a lot about the priesthood, Don. |
| 00:48:14 |
You'd make a fine priest. |
| 00:48:16 |
Good talker. Man of principles. A leader of men. |
| 00:48:20 |
The church loves a reformed crook. |
| 00:48:25 |
I always felt that thief next to Jesus got off lightly. |
| 00:48:28 |
But he recognized his sins. |
| 00:48:31 |
Aye. Said as much. |
| 00:48:33 |
When you're hung from a cross you're gonna say anything. |
| 00:48:35 |
Jesus offers him a seat next to his Daddy, |
| 00:48:39 |
You know, you're always gonna put your hand up |
| 00:48:40 |
Aye. Even when he's nailed to a cross. |
| 00:48:44 |
Jesus Christ ! That's sacrilegious. |
| 00:48:46 |
Aye. |
| 00:48:51 |
So, what did you want me to tell me ? |
| 00:48:54 |
Where are you at ? |
| 00:48:57 |
Been driven mad by that Governor yet ? |
| 00:48:59 |
Says he's been negotiating. |
| 00:49:02 |
It's been a sideshow. |
| 00:49:04 |
But you understand why you need to do it. |
| 00:49:06 |
Because we are no longer good propaganda. |
| 00:49:12 |
The time has come. |
| 00:49:17 |
Do you think that's what the leadership think ? |
| 00:49:20 |
Maybe. I do not know. |
| 00:49:26 |
Ten thousand people marched for the
seven hunger strikers last October, right? |
| 00:49:29 |
Right. |
| 00:49:31 |
As your time... |
| 00:49:33 |
getting involved. The whole world trying to get |
| 00:49:38 |
But it all came to nothing. |
| 00:49:39 |
Right. |
| 00:49:40 |
The hunger strike failed. |
| 00:49:43 |
We are on the frontline. We created |
| 00:49:48 |
Leadership may be very clear to me, Don. |
| 00:49:50 |
Four and half years in a 'no wash' protest, |
| 00:49:52 |
as much as it has highlightes
republicanism to some extent... |
| 00:49:55 |
it has also distracted from the
wider development of the organization. |
| 00:49:57 |
That's because your needs are specific needs. |
| 00:50:01 |
Some women bringing up three children in West Belfast |
| 00:50:03 |
shouldn't care about civilian type clothes or
whatever the fuck they're calling these clown outfits. |
| 00:50:07 |
Not so. |
| 00:50:09 |
We were promised our own clothes. |
| 00:50:12 |
So the leadership have had enough of you ? |
| 00:50:17 |
In an ideal world, |
| 00:50:19 |
we would be fighting our battles independently. |
| 00:50:22 |
Nothing has changed here, |
| 00:50:24 |
The leadership are stuck with us. |
| 00:50:25 |
until there's some realistic chance |
| 00:50:28 |
That's the hard truth of it. |
| 00:50:30 |
Say get me to negotiate with |
| 00:50:33 |
when there's never nothing on the table,
it's just pure crap. |
| 00:50:35 |
I'm not going to be marching to this Governor's office and |
| 00:50:37 |
get caught up in some mindless, |
| 00:50:41 |
He is a big fan of yours. |
| 00:50:44 |
Can you believe that they made him governor though ? |
| 00:50:47 |
Mother of Jesus. |
| 00:50:51 |
I was a cross-country runner when I was a boy. |
| 00:50:54 |
I could have guessed it. Big engine on you. |
| 00:50:57 |
Cross-country runner. |
| 00:51:00 |
That explains a lot about you, Bobby. |
| 00:51:04 |
That's the whole country thing for me. |
| 00:51:05 |
Jesus. They'd have to hold me back at
finishing line or I'd keep on running. |
| 00:51:09 |
I was seen as a mongrel from out of the city. |
| 00:51:12 |
Frightening the cattle and all. It was a funny time. |
| 00:51:14 |
Frightened the cattle ? |
| 00:51:17 |
Think you can get milk and burgers
from them monsters ? Jesus Christ ! |
| 00:51:24 |
The next time round I'm gonna be
born in the countryside, guaranteed. |
| 00:51:28 |
Wild life, birds. |
| 00:51:32 |
Aye. And you'd learn to relax too. |
| 00:51:37 |
Maybe, you never know. I've never tried it before. |
| 00:51:42 |
I'm starting a hunger strike on the 1st of March. |
| 00:51:46 |
That's why you're here. |
| 00:51:49 |
Aye, I heard that. |
| 00:51:55 |
Does your family know ? |
| 00:51:58 |
Have you spoken with them ? |
| 00:52:02 |
How do you think they will take it ? |
| 00:52:04 |
What do you think, Don ? |
| 00:52:26 |
So, what makes it different from the last time ? |
| 00:52:32 |
Last time the strike was flawed. |
| 00:52:34 |
It became emotional. |
| 00:52:38 |
They all got weak and couldn't
let the weakest one die... |
| 00:52:39 |
which left us susceptible to being conned by the Brits |
| 00:52:42 |
And that is exactly what we were. |
| 00:52:45 |
This time out, the men will start
consecutively two weeks apart |
| 00:52:48 |
Somebody dies, they'll be replaced. |
| 00:52:50 |
There is no shortage of us. |
| 00:52:53 |
For Christ's sake. |
| 00:52:55 |
The announcement is being made today. |
| 00:53:01 |
So, what makes this protest different
is that you accept to die, Bobby ? |
| 00:53:06 |
It may well come to that. |
| 00:53:08 |
You start a hunger strike to protest for |
| 00:53:10 |
You don't start already determined to die, |
| 00:53:15 |
It's in their hands. Our message is clear. |
| 00:53:20 |
So there'll be a couple of deaths,
do you think, maybe five or six, |
| 00:53:23 |
but you have seventy-five of you. |
| 00:53:27 |
All right, maybe the Brits |
| 00:53:30 |
But why should you care ? |
| 00:53:43 |
Have you thought about you're going
to be putting these boys through ? |
| 00:53:46 |
I mean, putting aside what's going
to happen to these poor men's families. |
| 00:53:50 |
You're going head to head with the British Government |
| 00:53:53 |
who are unshakeable. |
| 00:53:56 |
They can easily live with the deaths |
| 00:53:59 |
And the stakes are much higher this time. |
| 00:54:02 |
And if you're not even willing to negotiate, |
| 00:54:05 |
Is that it ? |
| 00:54:07 |
So failure means many dead men, families torn apart, |
| 00:54:11 |
and the whole Republican movement demoralised. |
| 00:54:14 |
Aye. Worst case scenario it might well mean all that... |
| 00:54:17 |
but in short term, under the ashes... |
| 00:54:19 |
guaranteed, there will be a new generation |
| 00:54:21 |
even more resilient. More determined. |
| 00:54:24 |
There's a war going on. I thought you |
| 00:54:27 |
You're talking to me like I'm a foreigner. |
| 00:54:30 |
I live here, man. |
| 00:54:32 |
I supported the first hunger strike
on the basis it was a protest. |
| 00:54:36 |
Not some pre-design to die |
| 00:54:40 |
other than complete surrender from Thatcher. |
| 00:54:43 |
What's happened in here for the last four years ? |
| 00:54:45 |
Brutality, humiliation. |
| 00:54:49 |
All this must come to an end. |
| 00:54:53 |
So what ? |
| 00:54:54 |
We take their offer and put their uniform on ? |
| 00:54:56 |
because the last four years are meant nothing ? |
| 00:54:58 |
We can do that, Don, |
| 00:55:01 |
we proclaim to be |
| 00:55:04 |
Is there not even small part in you |
| 00:55:06 |
that could find you negotiating again ? |
| 00:55:10 |
Forget about that. I want to know whether |
| 00:55:19 |
You want me to argue... |
| 00:55:20 |
about the morality of what I'm about to do |
| 00:55:25 |
For one in your corner it's suicide. |
| 00:55:28 |
And that's just another wee difference between us two. |
| 00:55:30 |
We are both Catholic men. |
| 00:55:33 |
But while you were poaching salmon |
| 00:55:35 |
we were being burnt out of our houses in Rathcoole. |
| 00:55:37 |
Similar in many ways, Don, but life and |
| 00:55:41 |
Do you understand me ? |
| 00:55:43 |
I have my belief and in all its simplicity, |
| 00:55:49 |
So what's your statement by dying ? |
| 00:55:52 |
Just highlighting British intransigence, so fucking what ? |
| 00:55:56 |
The whole world knows what the Brits are like. |
| 00:55:58 |
Aye. It is good. |
| 00:56:00 |
The Brits have been fucking up for centuries. |
| 00:56:03 |
I can feel your hatred, Don. |
| 00:56:06 |
No. |
| 00:56:08 |
Because I've heard you eulogizing Wolf Tone, |
| 00:56:10 |
McConnely, Mike Sweeney, all them men. |
| 00:56:13 |
Don't talk thinking you're writing your |
| 00:56:16 |
Oh, and you think that matters to me? |
| 00:56:18 |
Well, you're wrong. |
| 00:56:22 |
You say you're soldiers. |
| 00:56:24 |
It's all about the freedom. |
| 00:56:27 |
But you've got no appreciation |
| 00:56:30 |
You no longer know what a life is, young man. |
| 00:56:33 |
Four years living in these conditions,
no one expects you to be normal. |
| 00:56:37 |
There is nothing normal about you. |
| 00:56:40 |
Right now the Republican |
| 00:56:44 |
You and the IRA are standing right behind
it looking into that corner. All that history. |
| 00:56:49 |
All them dead men and women. |
| 00:56:53 |
And your answer is to kill everything.
You've blinded yourself. |
| 00:56:55 |
And you're scared to stop it. |
| 00:56:59 |
Afraid of living, |
| 00:57:03 |
So what would Ulster be if it
wasn't turning itself to shit ? |
| 00:57:07 |
And this situation here, |
| 00:57:09 |
the future of the Republican Movement |
| 00:57:13 |
who have lost all sense of reality. |
| 00:57:17 |
You think your head's on right ? |
| 00:57:21 |
Locked up here 24 hours a day in piss and shit... |
| 00:57:23 |
and you are making decisions |
| 00:57:26 |
Build a statue to Bobby Sands. |
| 00:57:30 |
Freedom Fighter ? |
| 00:57:33 |
They are the men and women |
| 00:57:36 |
and that was you once upon a time, am I right ? |
| 00:57:39 |
All that work you did in Twin Brook. |
| 00:57:42 |
That is where we need you, Bobby. |
| 00:57:47 |
But I'm deluded. |
| 00:57:50 |
They're beating your ball, here. You're playing
into their hands. The strategy's in place. |
| 00:57:53 |
Then stop it. Just say you'll stop. |
| 00:57:57 |
You're in no shape to make this call. |
| 00:57:59 |
It's done. It won't be stopped. |
| 00:58:06 |
God's gonna punish me. |
| 00:58:14 |
Well, if not just for the suicide, then
he'd have to punish you for your stupidity. |
| 00:58:21 |
Aye. |
| 00:58:23 |
And you for your arrogance. |
| 00:58:25 |
Because my life is a real life, |
| 00:58:29 |
some religious trick |
| 00:58:33 |
Jesus Christ had a backbone, |
| 00:58:34 |
but see them disciples, every disciple since ? |
| 00:58:37 |
You're just jumping in and out of the rhetoric |
| 00:58:40 |
You need the revolutionaries. |
| 00:58:42 |
You need the cultural political
soldier to give life a pulse... |
| 00:58:44 |
to give life a direction. |
| 00:58:47 |
Aye. So you say. |
| 00:58:49 |
And what's your wee son going to say ? |
| 00:58:51 |
Doesn't that interest you ? |
| 00:58:53 |
You're going to attack me with sentiment ? |
| 00:58:56 |
Typical priest. |
| 00:58:58 |
I thought you had me all figured out, Don. |
| 00:59:05 |
My life means everything to me. |
| 00:59:10 |
I know that you don't mean to mock me, Don. |
| 00:59:14 |
This is one of those times when we've come to a pause. |
| 00:59:17 |
It's a time to keep your beliefs pure. |
| 00:59:20 |
I believe that a united Ireland is right and just. |
| 00:59:24 |
Maybe it's impossible for a
man like you to understand. |
| 00:59:28 |
But having respect for my life, |
| 00:59:29 |
a desire for freedom, |
| 00:59:33 |
means I can see past any doubts I may have. |
| 00:59:37 |
Putting my life on the line is not
just the only thing I can do, Don. |
| 00:59:41 |
It's the right thing. |
| 00:59:48 |
This is why you called me here. |
| 00:59:51 |
Needed a sounding board ? |
| 00:59:55 |
Endebting yourself, maybe ? |
| 00:59:58 |
Well, I'm only human. |
| 01:00:04 |
Man of the guidance, Don.
Business of the soul. |
| 01:00:19 |
You been to Gweedore, in Donegal ? |
| 01:00:22 |
Aye. |
| 01:00:31 |
I went there when I was 12. |
| 01:00:35 |
Big cross-country race for the boys. |
| 01:00:38 |
And we were all in the back of a minibus
headed towards Derry one morning. |
| 01:00:43 |
I mean, this is big time. |
| 01:00:45 |
I mean, this is like international athletics for us |
| 01:00:50 |
and we had this thing to do Belfast pride. |
| 01:00:55 |
A few boys were Protestants |
| 01:00:59 |
It was a cross-community event |
| 01:01:01 |
I suppose the good people |
| 01:01:05 |
Let's get this wee team over from Belfast |
| 01:01:11 |
Anyway, |
| 01:01:14 |
we went through the border. |
| 01:01:17 |
The boys singing pop tunes and all... |
| 01:01:20 |
But I'm just in the back of the bus looking out the window, |
| 01:01:25 |
we're going through the mountains. You know,
where Mount Errigal is in them ? |
| 01:01:31 |
It's a beautiful sight, Don. |
| 01:01:34 |
Donegal is the most place in Ireland, I reckon. |
| 01:01:39 |
Aye. |
| 01:01:47 |
Anyway, |
| 01:01:50 |
when we arrived at Gweedore... what a place.
There were about 200 boys there. |
| 01:01:57 |
getting into their gear and limnering up. |
| 01:02:01 |
The whole event is run by |
| 01:02:03 |
clipping young fellows around in the back of the ears, |
| 01:02:09 |
Our team goes off for a wee jog, to stretch out the legs. |
| 01:02:14 |
And we're surrounded by fields of barley. |
| 01:02:18 |
And I dip down into a wee valley where there's a stream |
| 01:02:21 |
and woods running through it. |
| 01:02:26 |
The woods and the stream are |
| 01:02:29 |
us Belfast boys had to go check it, right ? |
| 01:02:32 |
The woods and the stream seemed like the Amazon to us. |
| 01:02:37 |
As we come across, these young fellows from Cork... |
| 01:02:41 |
there's some banter about our accents... |
| 01:02:43 |
They could barely talk we couldn't
understand what they were saying. |
| 01:02:47 |
You get the idea that they are lording it over us... |
| 01:02:50 |
Looking down on us, I'm sensing it anyway. |
| 01:02:54 |
We run along... |
| 01:02:56 |
and we come up with this idea to go down |
| 01:03:01 |
So we went to the river, Don... |
| 01:03:06 |
and a silver fish, but nothing substantial. |
| 01:03:09 |
until one of our boys calls us further down. |
| 01:03:13 |
Lying in the water is a wee foal... |
| 01:03:16 |
four or five days old. he was
all skin and bone, a gray color. |
| 01:03:21 |
And it's got flakes of blood in his coat because |
| 01:03:29 |
We were standing over him and you
could see his back legs snapped... |
| 01:03:33 |
He's breathing, he's alive, but just about. |
| 01:03:38 |
So this big conversation gets started up between |
| 01:03:43 |
and deliberating as what we should do. |
| 01:03:46 |
Someone says drop a rock on his head, |
| 01:03:48 |
but I'm looking in their faces and I can see |
| 01:03:52 |
It's all bravado. |
| 01:03:54 |
And this foal on the ground in real pain. |
| 01:03:58 |
All this chitchat going on going nowhere. |
| 01:04:03 |
Next thing, one of the priests sees us, sees the foal, |
| 01:04:06 |
tells us not to move it and that we were done for... |
| 01:04:08 |
We were really done for. |
| 01:04:09 |
Group of boys will always get the blame for hurting a foal. |
| 01:04:12 |
A group of Belfast boys |
| 01:04:15 |
So it's clear to me in an instant. |
| 01:04:16 |
I get down on my knees on my knees and take the |
| 01:04:21 |
He's thrashing around, so I press
down harder until he's drowned. |
| 01:04:28 |
The priests arrived, Don. |
| 01:04:31 |
Just grabbing me by the hair, dragging me |
| 01:04:36 |
But I knew I did the right thing by that wee foal. |
| 01:04:40 |
and I could take the punishment for all our boys. |
| 01:04:44 |
I had the respect of the other boys now. And I knew that. |
| 01:04:54 |
I'm clear of the reasons, Don. |
| 01:04:57 |
And clear of all the repercussions. |
| 01:05:00 |
But I will act and I will |
| 01:05:41 |
You can leave them there if you like. |
| 01:05:43 |
Don't want me rolling up the letter of St. John, do you ? |
| 01:05:51 |
Couldn't have that in my conscience, no. |
| 01:06:01 |
I don't think I'm gonna see you again, Bobby. |
| 01:06:06 |
There's no need, Don. |
| 01:09:35 |
"Faced now with the failure |
| 01:09:40 |
the men of violence |
| 01:09:43 |
to play what may well be their last card, |
| 01:09:48 |
They have turned their violence against themselves |
| 01:09:51 |
through the prison hunger strike to death |
| 01:09:55 |
They seek to work on the most basic |
| 01:10:01 |
as a means of creating tension |
| 01:10:04 |
and stoking the fires of bitterness and hatred. |
| 01:10:38 |
And from week one there has been a gradual deterioration |
| 01:10:44 |
Also the bone density decreases substantially
due to calcium and vitamin deficiencies. |
| 01:10:53 |
The muscles of the heart |
| 01:10:55 |
causing impaired function |
| 01:11:04 |
The left ventricle can shrink to 70% |
| 01:11:10 |
He will have low blood sugar, low |
| 01:11:17 |
He will be experiencing gastro-
intestinal ulcers with the thinning |
| 01:11:20 |
of the intestinal wall |
| 01:11:26 |
There will have been degenerative changes |
| 01:11:29 |
and indeed all the organs in the body. |

Name. |

Name. |

"People always ask us. |
| 01:24:01 |
Bobby, Bobby ! |
| 01:24:04 |
And where we come from |
| 01:24:07 |
And we tell them |
| 01:24:11 |
We're from Belfast |
| 01:24:15 |
The mighty, mighty Belfast |
| 01:24:18 |
And if they can't hear us |

we shout a little louder |

Bobby Sands died after 66 days on hunger strike. |
| 01:27:37 |
At that time he was elected to the British |

After 7 months the strike was called off. |
| 01:27:54 |
16 wardens were killed by paramilitaries |

In the following days and months, |
