What was Kemi Badenoch worried about?

Come and see for yourself.

Our next film has a definite change of pace. Irish-language film “Kneecap” isn’t just a biopic; it’s a riotous, energetic explosion of Irish rap trio Kneecap’s rise, controversies, and unapologetic artistry. The film captures their raw talent and rebellious spirit, showcasing their music’s infectious energy and politically charged lyrics. Beyond the gigs and studio sessions, “Kneecap” delves into the band’s clashes with the establishment.

Kemi Badenoch, as Business Secretary in the last government, attempted to block the funding they had already been awarded by the Music Export Growth Scheme, as they were considered anti-British. Adding a layer of off screen political drama. It’s a must-see for music lovers and anyone interested in the intersection of art, politics, and free expression.
