The harsh living conditions of the political prisoners, the naked clothes, the accumulation of food scraps in the cell, and the feces on the walls, are disgusting and sympathetic. Prison guards are also out of duty to force them to bathe, examine their bodies, but also clean off criminals of all kinds of filth. The two sides seem to be arguing with each other and not giving in to each other, but they are equally helpless. The criminals died on hunger strike in order to fight for their own rights, and the prison guards were shot to death when they visited their mothers. The experiences of both were equally tragic. The final subtitle shows that 10 people on hunger strike and 16 prison guards died, and I think that number says it all. For freedom, for their respective political positions, both sides have to pay a huge price.
The scene of the prisoner being beaten in the play is too realistic. Is the hunger striker really the same actor?
