Mythologizing the the story and ambition of West Belfast hip hop trio Kneecap known for their use of the Irish language, Rich Peppiatt's music biopic (not a documentary!) follows the three real-life band members Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí on the road to becoming the unlikely figureheads of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue. A bloody funny origin story that serves as a rebellious anthem for the Irish language.
