The Maze

1x60 mins

The remarkable story of the notorious HMS Maze, Northern Ireland: a prison like no other.

Ten men starved themselves to death in the H-blocks and 29 prison officers who worked there were killed.

Conceived to contain the bloody troubles, it became the very centre of the political struggle itself.

In this film the men responsible for 30 years of brutal history talk frankly about their time inside.
