The Celtic Underground

You may not know Peter Broughan but you will be familiar with his work. The producer of Rob Roy, The Flying Scotsman and Your Cheatin’ Heart (among others) has turned his attention to his great passion for Celtic and has set in motion the production of Paradise - the film that tells the story for the formation of our club. Please listen to or watch the podcast and if interested go to: https://gofund.me/aa8c6ba9 Paradise is a compelling narrative that dramatises one strand of the tragically eternal immigrant experience. The film is centred on the foundation of Celtic Football Club by the post-famine Irish community in Glasgow in 1888. The lead character is the Marist teacher Brother Walfrid, who had survived "the great hunger" as a child in Sligo. The club's founding mission statement encapsulated his charitable vision. "A football club will be formed for the maintenance of dinner tables for the children and the unemployed" If you want to know more about the film you can watch on youtube [https://youtu.be/0wPkn-1pGk4?si=MMnWTtTV3q79TF9D] You can fund it by clicking here [https://gofund.me/aa8c6ba9] This is a public episode.
