# Film at glór with Access Cinema: Kneecap

When teacher JJ, is roped in to act as Liam Óg Irish language interpreter during a Police interrogation, he happens upon Liam and childhood friend Naoise’s raw lyrical prose. JJ convinces both that they should set their words to music, and a hip-hop act like no other is born. Rapping in their native Irish, Kneecap become the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue.
Musically daring, anarchic and fun, the trio dodge police harassment, paramilitaries, and their own chaotic lifestyle to ‘change the sound of Irish music forever.‘ A fiercely original sex, drugs, and hip-hop biopic, Kneecap play themselves, with Michael Fassbender in tow, producing a global rallying cry for the defence of native cultures.
