Senghenydd

The original film from 1964 contains rare footage of the pit disaster of 1913, and asks how long a shadow has that terrible event cast over this mining village?

In the new film, Helen Price traces the history of her grandmother's brother who was killed in the 1913 explosion. She also discusses how reclaiming the Welsh language has changed life for her family and herself, and how it can help bring colour back to the valley.
