The story of Wales is a major six-part documentary “BBC Series” presented by Huw Edwards about the untold history of Wales, showing the country in ways it has never been seen before.
The Industrial Revolution turns Wales into a global player, bringing unimaginable wealth – and desperate poverty. From Parys Mountain on Anglesey to Copperopolis, Swansea, in the south – the copper trade transforms the landscape and economy. Iron does the same for Merthyr Tydfil, making it a world-class centre of technology. This brave new Wales fuels massive social turmoil, riots and uprisings – and leads to our first cries for democracy and workers’ rights.
