KCRW Partner Screening: ‘Kneecap’

KCRW and Sony Pictures Classics invite you to a special advance screening of Kneecap followed by a conversation with the director, Rich Peppiatt, and cast members, Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí moderated by KCRW’s Dan Wilcox.

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 becomes the unlikely figurehead of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue. But the trio must first overcome police, paramilitaries, and 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.
