Kneecap
Mind your language.
Directed by Rich Peppiatt
Produced by Mother Tongues Films, Fine Point Films
A vibrant, energetic comedy-drama about three unlikely friends using hip-hop to reclaim their Irish language and identity, balancing irreverent humor with genuine cultural pride.
When fate brings Belfast teacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed "low life scum" Naoise and Liam Óg, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other. Rapping in their native Irish, they lead a movement to save their mother tongue.
