In 1965, England drowned the Welsh village of Capel Celyn and the surrounding farmlands, home to 70 residents. This one event reshaped Wales but is forgotten about in England. In this video, Andy, visits the site of this lost settlement to speak with people who saw it all happen to understand, how England could do this, how it reshaped Welsh nationalism, and whether something like this could ever happen again.
