Dir: Rich Peppiatt | Ireland, UK | 2023 | 105 mins | Subtitled

Cast | Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, DJ Próvaí, Josie Walker, Simone Kirby, Michael Fassbender

An Irish rap group rails against imperialism in Rich Peppiatt’s exhilarating, unruly origin story. 

Of 80,000 native Irish speakers, 6,000 live in the North of Ireland. Three became a rap group called Kneecap. This is the true story (if considerably embellished) of how this anarchic Belfast trio became the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save and reinvigorate their mother tongue. 

Starring the rappers themselves – joined by Michael Fassbender, Josie Walker and Simone Kirby – Kneecap is a hilarious, lurid rags-to-riches tale steeped in local lore, polemic against authority and laughs drawn from the absurdity of history. Fiercely original, it’s also a global rallying cry for the defence of native cultures.
