Kneecap

Directed by: Rich Peppiatt
Starring: Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, DJ Próvai, Michael Fassbender, Josie Walker

Rich Peppiatt’s raucous and infectious debut feature. When fate brings a Belfast teacher into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Liam and Naoise, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other. Rapping in their native language, they lead a movement to save their mother tongue.

Set in post-Troubles Northern Ireland, this riotous Belfast-set comedy tells the real-life origin story of how an anarchic trio of Northern Irish rappers transcended music to become an unlikely political symbol of youth culture, national identity, and cultural pride.
