KNEECAP, the acclaimed Irish film sensation, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and Ireland on Friday, November 15, 2024.

The film has already made waves in the Irish film industry, achieving the highest-grossing opening weekend for an Irish film since THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN in 2022. The movie has garnered international recognition, winning awards at both the Sundance Film Festival and the Galway Film Fleadh.

Rich Peppiatt’s directorial debut, co-written with Kneecap members Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvai, tells the dramatized origin story of the Belfast hip-hop group. Set in post-troubles Belfast, the narrative follows childhood friends Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh and Naoise Ó Cairealláin, whose lives take an unexpected turn when they encounter teacher JJ Ó Dochartaigh.

The film is currently in consideration for the International Feature Film Oscar, with the shortlist announcement expected on December 17, and final nominees to be revealed on January 17, 2025.
