Kneecap- An International Hopeful With Audio Description!
Quick Take: From what I can tell, because I’ve seen almost the entire shortlist, this is one of two International Oscar hopefuls with audio description. If you’d like to check it out, Sony Pictures Classics currently has this on Netflix. It is Irish, and centers around the preservation of the Irish language, in staunch defense to the British colonial rule that seems to perpetually plague the Irish. They speak this language to keep it alive, and Kneecap is actually a punk rock band that rocks out in Irish. There is a fair amount of English here, so I was surprised it qualified, but for an International film to focus on not losing a language, and how many languages have been lost… let’s just say i started learning Irish on Duo Lingo. Slan, and check out my video for more. (Slan translates to Goodbye in Irish).
