Omschrijving

When fate brings bored music teacher JJ together with friends Naoise and Liam Óg, it marks the beginning of an unprecedented Irish hip-hop act. Rapping in their native language, the rebellious trio Kneecap breaks through in Belfast and quickly becomes the face of a civil rights movement aiming to save the Irish language. As the debate erupts in the public arena, police and politicians do everything they can to silence the anarchic group.

    One of the funniest films of the year

    De rappers van Kneecap zijn zonder acteerervaring voortreffelijk als zichzelf. Hun rauwe charisma spat van het doek
    De Volkskrant
  • ★★★★☆
    Energiek docudrama
