Gafael Tir explores the history of y werin (‘the Welsh common folk’), and their struggle for a better life. Their tales are told and their old ballads are sung as we meet kings, cross dressing farmers, radical preachers, land workers and unions; a thousand years of history squeezed into 4 online episodes. Drawing on Welsh folk arts, the show touches on politics, human rights, freedom of thought and expression, the right to protest and the history of British democracy.
Episode 3 - Fire and Water, tells the tale of 20th century Wales, including government land grabs, the peace movement, women’s suffrage and Prince Charles!
