Twelve films from different parts of the UK which explore some of the complexities of people's sense of identity.
10: Trawsfynydd
Isolated and exposed, Trawsfynydd is a close place, whose tight social connections are cemented above all else by the use of the Welsh language. Today the village stands across the lake from an atomic power station. How does the traditional Welsh way of life react to this new pressure in its heartland?
