Y Werin is Welsh for “folk, the common people of Wales, from and of the land” whilst Hiraeth means “wistfulness, homesickness and yearning”. This short documentary explores what it means to be from Merthyr, considered to be one of the most deprived areas of Wales, through the perspective of local filmmakers, artists and photographers who are situating themselves at the centre of the town’s cultural renaissance. Captivating and gracefully shot, this short is an impassioned reminder to remain aware of where you’re from and the beauty that can be found anywhere if you look hard enough.
