Aberfan: The Fight For Justice(2016)

Aberfan: The Fight For Justice is a documentary series that examines one of Britain's worst peacetime disasters. In 1966, a coal tip collapsed in the Welsh village of Aberfan, killing 144 people, mostly children. Presenter Huw Edwards traces the decades-long campaign by survivors and families seeking accountability, investigating whether the tragedy was an unavoidable accident or a preventable catastrophe caused by negligence. The series explores the evidence, the official inquiries, and the persistent push for justice that has defined the community's response to unimaginable loss. Through interviews and archival material, it reveals how Aberfan's survivors refused to accept easy answers, challenging those in power to acknowledge responsibility for the disaster.
