Episode 1Wales: Who Do We Think We Are?58 min
Huw Edwards travels around Wales to find out how people's identities have been shaped by the turbulent events of the past decade and by the challenges that the country currently faces. Ten years after the landmark history series The Story of Wales was first broadcast, Huw summed up contemporary Wales as 'an ancient people more certain of our identity than at any point in the past thousand years'. Has anything changed? Has the way people define themselves shifted over time, and does it affect the direction they want the country to take? Huw explores how the two governments in Wales – UK and Welsh – are affecting the lives of people in Wales. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0d47h95
