大象传媒

Greg Jenner hears an archive clip of Welsh women trying to save Ebbw Vale steelworks in 1975. He talks Professor Louise Miskell about how important women were in political activism in Wales in the 1970s, and to Sophie Williams about how she approaches activism in 2022.

Marking the centenary of the 大象传媒, Past Forward uses a random date generator to alight somewhere in the 大象传媒's vast archive over the past 100 years. Greg Jenner hears an archive clip for the first time at the top of the programme, and uses it as a starting point in a journey towards the present day. The archive captures a century of British life in a unique way - a history of ordinary people鈥檚 lives, as well as news of the great events. Greg uncovers connections through people, places and ideas that link the archive fragment to Britain in 2022, pulling in help from experts and those who remember the time, and looking at how far we've come since then.
