Darwin International Film Festival program launches with the NT premiere of Kneecap.
There are 80,000 native Irish speakers in Ireland. Six thousand live in the North of Ireland. Three of them became a rap group called Kneecap. This is the real-life story of how this anarchic Belfast trio became the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue.
Join us for sundowner as we reveal all of the films and events taking place in the 15th Darwin International Film Festival before kicking back in a deckchair for Kneecap!
Presented by Deckchair Cinema and Darwin International Film Festival in association with Darwin Festival
