Josie Walker in ‘Kneecap’ – OUT NOW

Josie Walker stars in the new film ‘Kneecap’ which has been put forward as Ireland’s submission for the Oscars. The film is currently picking up loads of awards and recognition. Josie plays Detective Ellis.

Kneecap is set in West Belfast in 2019. Fate brings together disillusioned music teacher JJ with self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Naoise and Liam Og, changing the sound of Irish music forever. Under the name Kneecap, their band begins moulding the language to fit their tough, anarchic, hedonistic lives. But to get their voices heard the trio must overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians as the future of the Irish language erupts into the public arena – with them at the centre. Yet their worst enemies are often themselves, as family and relationship pressures threaten their dreams, and their illegal exploits draw condemnation from all sides

Already released in UK and open in the States, ‘Kneecap’ opens Worldwide at the end of the month.

Josie is best known for her screen roles of Auntie Violet in Kenneth Branaghs Oscar winning ‘Belfast’, as ‘Non Reassuring Trace’ in BBC’s This is Going to Hurt and the Netflix film ‘The Wonder’ as ‘Sister Michael’ alongside Florence Pugh.
