When fate brings a Belfast teacher into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other. Rapping in their native Irish, they lead a movement to save their mother tongue. Kneecap are joined on screen by standout actors of their generation Michael Fassbender and Simone Kirby.
Winner of the Sundance Film Festival’s Audience Award this fiction film loosely adapted from the real-life experience of the Belfast Gaeilgoir Rap sensation of the same name, Kneecap – the film - further widens the offering of Irish language cinema which has seen such a rapid growth in some short years.
