Huw Edwards presents this major television history of Wales, showing our country in ways it's never been seen before. The Industrial Revolution turns Wales into a global player, bringing unimaginab...le 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.
