First Irish-language film to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
Features a brief cameo from the actual Gerry Adams (former Sinn Fein president). The band asked him, assuming he'd say no, but he agreed, though "he changed 'fucking' to 'flipping'," says Mo Chara. "We thought he'd have a problem with the drugs, but it was just the profanity."
The band refused to have the rights to the film sold in Israel, as they are vocal supporters of Palestinian liberation.
Official submission of Ireland for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 97th Academy Awards in 2025.
Memorials for Bobby Sands are shown at points in the film. Michael Fassbender, who appears in Kneecap, played the actual Bobby Sands in Hunger.
