Kneecap (18)

Witness the rise of KNEECAP – the Belfast trio who became the voice of a generation.

When fate brings Belfast teacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Naoise and Liam Og, rapping in their native Irish, the needle drops on a hip hop act like no other. This is the real life story of how this anarchic Belfast trio became the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save and reinvigorate their mother tongue.

The film stars the band members as themselves, with Josie Walker, Fionnuala Flaherty, Jessica Reynolds, Adam Best, Simone Kirby, and Michael Fassbender in supporting roles. Kneecap has had great success winning awards. It has been selected as the Irish entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
