Currently one of the most in-demand acts on the planet, Kneecap play themselves in this fiercely original sex, drugs and hip-hop biopic, laying down a global rallying cry for the defense of native cultures.
When fate brings Belfast schoolteacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Naoise and Liam Og, the needle drops on a hip hop act like no other. Rapping in their native Irish language, KNEECAP fast become the unlikely figureheads of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue. But the trio must first overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their defiant sound — whilst their anarchic approach to life often makes them their own worst enemies.
A rebellious anthem for cultural preservation, Kneecap is a shaggy, rambunctious commentary on identity, language loss, and lingering sectarianism.
