Kneecap

Hip-hop trio Kneecap are joined by Michael Fassbender in this high-octane trip through Belfast city. Rapping about drugs, sex and resistance against Westminster control, Peppiatt traces the band’s partly-fictional origin story. As the trio become a symbol of resistance for “the ceasefire generation”, the police, politicians and paramilitaries try to curb their influence. A rip-roaring combination of the profane and the political, Kneecap captures the energy and rebellious spirit of a growing youth movement with a pulsing soundtrack and a willful celebration of the Irish language.
