Ten Hungry Men

Ten Hungry Men focuses on 10 Polish-Canadian men who staged a hunger strike in front of the Polish Consulate in Toronto in 1983.

This is a story about ten strangers who spontaneously banded together to challenge an entire government. The one-hour documentary explores human willpower and the true meaning of freedom.
