When a Belfast schoolteacher crashes into the orbit of two unpredictable and raucous best-friends, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other.
Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh leap onto the screen to play themselves in this heightened comedy-drama about the anarchic group, Kneecap, who become unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue.
Armed with a blend of native Irish and English verses and furious, politically charged rhymes, the trio must overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their defiant ketamine-fuelled sound. In this fiercely original sex, drugs and hip-hop biopic, also starring Michael Fassbender, KNEECAP is a rollicking trip into the meaning of pure defiance.
