Coal is king in the south Wales valleys of the 1960s. It brings jobs to thousands of households. But it is about to exact a terrible price on one small community.

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'.
