Poster for the film KNEECAP

Kneecap

When fate brings Belfast schoolteacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Naoise & 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 & politicians trying to silence their defiant sound—whilst their anarchic approach to life often makes them their own worst enemies.

In this fiercely original hip-hop biopic— Kneecap play themselves, laying down a global rallying cry for the defense of native cultures.

"An audacious film that completely obliterates the expectations of the musical biopic genre."
William Bibbiani, The Wrap
"Bursting with unruly energy that practically escapes the confines of the screen, Kneecap is a riotous, drug-laced triumph in the name of freedom that bridges political substance and crowd-pleasing entertainment."
Carlos Aguilar, Variety
