The two part series Gwynt Ynni Hwyliau, (Tuesday, 14 and Tuesday, 21 February), offers a portrait of a crew of protestors fighting against plans to build large scale wind farms in Powys, Mid Wales.
Cameras from Cynyrchiadau Ceidiog followed protestors in the old Montgomeryshire over four months, at the end of 2011 and the start of 2012, as they campaigned against a number of renewable energy developments in the area.
During the programmes S4C viewers will get to know some of the colourful members of MAP - Montgomeryshire Unite Against Pylons.
Among a number of plans proposed by the National Grid is establishing a renewable energy site in either Abermule or Cefn Coch which would mean placing 400,000 volt cables through the beautiful Vyrnwy Valley. MAP argues such damage cannot be justified when renewable energy currently only produces 0.58 of electricity on the National Grid.
Among the campaigners are the author and broadcaster from Llanfair Caereinion, Myfanwy Alexander.
"I've come to know a cross section of people through the campaign. It's a campaign which has united people. I've met old friends I hadn't seen since school and people who have lived in the area for 20 years I didn't know about," says Myfanwy.
"The campaign has united people who are close to the land, both farmers and people who have moved to the country. Few local people support the plans."
According to Myfanwy, the crew is campaigning against the governments in London and Cardiff. Although the House of Commons has the last word, policy makers in Cardiff choose the eight areas for planning renewable wind energy.
"To a Welsh patriot like me, the policy has created a dilemma because London seems to be happier to listen to our objections than Cardiff. Carwyn Jones is trying to hand the responsibility to London, but this is Cardiff's policy, he's passing the buck."
"I don't think the Government expected such strong objections. We expect a decision at the beginning of March but we have shown the companies that Montgomeryshire won't be an easy target for large scale developments."
As well as Myfanwy, the cameras follow, among others, David Oliver from the Newtown area, Rhisiart ap Rhys Owen from Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain who is a bookseller in Welshpool, Carolle Doyle, a local author and journalist from Trefnannau who specialises in rural issues, Jonathan Wilkinson, a farmer from Meifod and the Chairman of the MAP committee, Lloyd James, who keeps holiday cottages in Cefn Coch and Bethan Jones from the Berriew area.
The producer of the programmes, Nia Ceidiog says, "Whatever your opinion on the burning issue of wind farms and renewable energy, you have to admire the inventive ways the MAP campaigners use in their campaign. The programmes are a portrait of how a campaign like this pulls together people from different backgrounds, local people and those who have moved to the area. And they are such interesting people. It's a different way of looking at life in rural Wales."
