By the year 2100 half of the languages
spoken today will go extinct. Irish, native tongue to the people of Ireland and North of Ireland, is one of the endangered languages that needs to be protected. There’s no better way of bringing life to something than through culture, music and word of mouth (quite literally). That’s what Kneecap is all about. By adopting an Irish word you make sure to be its protector and watchkeeper for the rest of your life. Welcome to support a world where Irish is a flourishing language!
Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí from Kneecap have proven that marginalized cultures and languages have a place in the modern world. Their music shows that life's struggles are best expressed through what is closest to the heart.
By blending Irish and English, satire and socially conscious lyrics, and reality and absurdity, they bring a powerful voice from the often-overlooked areas of The North of Ireland. Speaking in a language that is frequently ignored, their music is electrifying and impactful.
When Belfast teacher JJ bumps into self-proclaimed "low-life scum" Naoise and Liam Óg, they spin the turntables on a hip-hop act like no other. Rapping in Irish, KNEECAP unexpectedly become the leaders of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue. But before they can save the day, they have to dodge the police, paramilitaries, and politicians who'd love to mute their rebellious sound—and their own chaotic antics don’t make things any easier.
In this wildly original biopic full of sex, drugs, and hip-hop, KNEECAP plays themselves, with Academy Award Nominee Michael Fassbender along for the ride. Together, they crank up the volume on a global rallying cry for native cultures. Who knew saving a language could be such a wild party?
