Based on the origin story of the riotous and ground-breaking Irish-language rap trio Kneecap, the film stars the band's original members Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, DJ Próvaí, Michael Fassbender, Simone Kirby, Jessica Reynolds, Fionnuala Flaherty, and Josie Walker.
There are 80,000 native Irish speakers in Ireland. 6,000 live in the North of Ireland. Three of them became a rap group called Kneecap. This anarchic Belfast trio become unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue.
Bursting forth from an often unpredictable and raucous post-Troubles Belfast, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, JJ Ó Dochartaigh leap onto the screen to play themselves in this heightened and wildly entertaining tale of Kneecap's origins, with Fassbender in tow as the charismatic father figure turned political martyr.
Armed with a blend of English and native Irish verses and blazing, politically charged rhymes, Kneecap’s music takes us on a ketamine-fueled, rollicking trip to encounter the meaning of pure defiance.
Helmed by Rich Peppiatt, screenplay is by Rich Peppiatt, Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara and DJ Próvai.
The film is slated for 2nd August 2024 release.
