Three young classmates head to school one misty morning - a morning that will devastate their community and change their lives forever.
The Aberfan disaster shook the world - 116 children and 28 adults died on 21 October 1966 when a coal tip engulfed a junior school and surrounding homes. How could this happen? It’s a tale of unheeded warnings, broken promises, and a shattered community’s fight for justice.
A 9 part podcast series from the same stable as 'Shreds'.
