“Every word of Irish spoken is a bullet fired for Irish freedom.” đźđȘ Sony Pictures Classics just dropped the official US trailer for the rad, energetic hip hop musical film from Ireland called Kneecap. It premiered at Sundance earlier this year and received near universal acclaim (it ended up on my Top 10 Best of the Fest list). It’s dope! Based on the origin story of the riotous & ground-breaking Irish-language rap trio Kneecap, the film stars the band’s original members Mo Chara, MĂłglaĂ Bap, and DJ PrĂłvaĂ (also known as Liam Ăg Ă hAnnaidh, Naoise Ă CaireallĂĄin, JJ Ă Dochartaigh) in their acting debuts alongside Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender, with Simone Kirby, Jessica Reynolds, Fionnuala Flaherty, and Josie Walker. Set in west Belfast in 2019, it chronicles how fate brings the trio together and how they then go on to “change the sound of Irish music forever”. Winner of the Next Audience Award at Sundance. This Irish film deserves to be a massive hit! Opening in theaters in the US starting August this summer – don’t miss it. // Continue Reading âș
