Riverdance creator Michael Flatley hopes a new documentary chronicling his life will inspire young people to “never give up on their dreams”.

The Billion Dollar Dancer will document the “rollercoaster ride of pinnacles and pitfalls” of the life of Irish dancer and choreographer Flatley, including his exit from the Riverdance show ahead of its world tour in 1995 and the creation of Lord Of The Dance.
