The drowning of Tryweryn: Looking back

Dafydd Wigley describes the flooding of Capel Celyn as "a traumatic event... that formed our politics." But was it really the birth of a new Welsh consciousness'? 50 years after the Llyn Celyn reservoir opened, Chris Dearden tells the story of Tryweryn, talking to some of the people who were there at the time.
