Past Run
Kneecap
When fate brings Belfast schoolteacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Naoise & Liam Og, the needle drops on a hip hop act like no other.
Rapping in their native Irish language, KNEECAP fast become the unlikely figureheads of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue.
But the trio must first overcome police, paramilitaries & politicians trying to silence their defiant sound - whilst their anarchic approach to life often makes them their own worst enemies.
In this fiercely original sex-drugs-and-hip-hop biopic, KNEECAP play themselves, laying down a global rallying cry for the defense of native cultures.

“An audacious film that completely obliterates the expectations of the musical biopic genre.”
