Description
In Belfast, after the Troubles conflict, a teacher encourages two young drug dealers to enter the studio with their rage against ‘the British’. With satire, raunchy lyrics and lots of absurdity, they fight for their native culture. In this biopic full of sex, drugs and hip-hop, the Irish rappers of Kneecap play themselves. An award-winning must-see that will have you question “Did that really happen?!” more than once. Since the film released, the band is now making waves worldwide with their debut album.
During this screening, the CHDR will track the heart rates of some audience members in order to investigate what actually happens to your heart rate when a film scares you, for example, or when a film makes you laugh a lot. The CHDR will use wrist watches for this experiment, which will be distributed before the screening. The results of this experiment will be processed anonymously.
The Centre for Human Drug Research is a foundation from Leiden. They test the effects of a range of medicines on healthy volunteers as well as patients. The money earned from this will be invested in the CHDR’s own research, the training of new investigators, and educating people about the importance of drug research.
