A new film on Gerry Adams’ life has hit the silver screen in Irish cinemas.

‘Gerry Adams: A Ballymurphy Man’, created and produced by Trisha Ziff, aims to recapture the life of the former Sinn Féin President.

Filmmaker Trisha Ziff is based in Mexico and has previously created films on the Spanish Civil War and Che Guevara.

She spent over five years working on this movie with Gerry Adams and a mostly Mexican crew, with a vision to give Adams a ‘simple platform’ to retell his story.

She joins Seán to discuss.
