Episode Details

Kneecap co-writer and director Rich Peppiatt joins Popcorn Podcast to discuss his Irish-language film hot off its US release and award-winning turn at Sundance. Starring the members of an anarchist Belfast rap trio, Kneecap is the true story of how they became the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue. In our chat with the passionate filmmaker, Peppiatt talks about the collective euphoria his film offers; why beer and his film go hand-in-hand; the big gamble he and his cinematographer took; and why he was always outnumbered.
