Michael McAdam shares his epic journey in the world of movies with Máirtín Ó Muilleoir for the latest Lagan Stream podcast ahead of his guest appearance at the West Belfast Small Business Roundtable on 5 August. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

The Ratchoole native believes in dreams - even if they are the very stuff of movies. In fact, especially if they are the stuff of movies.

For his own fascination with the silver screen — he was certainly the only Ratchoole teen with a Super Eight cine recorder in 1973 — helped him dream beyond the peace walls and petrol bombs of seventies Belfast.

"Education didn't really do it for me," says Michael, who left school with a couple of CSEs. But what he lacked in academic certificates, he made up for with a work ethic inherited from his postman dad who would come home drenched mid-morning, his shift done, throw on a change of clothing and head out again to take on the run of faint-hearted (and dry) colleagues.
