The devastating impact of the conflict is explored through the stories of three women as IRA prisoners begin their hunger strike in protest against Margaret Thatcher's policies. Tit-for-tat killings, car bombs and assassinations are now commonplace in Northern Ireland. Fatigue, from a population desperate for a respite from the cycle of violence, is creeping in.
