LAND OF STEEL | PORT TALBOT

The Port Talbot steelworks have suffered many setbacks, closures and job losses in recent years, greatly effecting the local economy and community. We follow John (70) a lifelong resident of Port Talbot as he runs familiar paths, contemplating the shadows of uncertainty as the future of Welsh steel hangs in a precarious balance.
This film was made as a passion-project and we hope you enjoy it!

Wow, this is amazing.
I'm not even from the uk, I'm brazilian. I'm researching the city of Port Talbot, because I work at a theme park that has the steam age and the industrial revolution as its main theme. Now, I'm giving the park attractions some historical background and Port Talbot just fits right in as the SteelWorks that we have.
I did not expect to find such a high quality video during my research.
Congratulations.
