The Great Hunger

on BBC Two England

The Life and Songs of Shane MacGowan.
The former lead singer of the Pogues is known as much for his rock 'n' roll lifestyle as his music. This film tracks his personal odyssey between County Tipperary and London. It includes interviews with MacGowan and his parents, interpretations of his songs by Sinead O'Connor, Nick Cave and Christy Moore, and insights into his personality from fellow singers Bono, Steve Earle and Billy Bragg.
