A film of a drowned village. The model was built in a TV studio to commemorate the drowning of Capel Celyn village in the Bala area in 1965. This village and the surrounding valley was drowned by Liverpool City Council in order to construct the Tryweryn reservoir (despite widespread protests in Wales at the time). Before drowning Capel Celyn, the buildings were bulldozed and the cemetery removed to another area, so the film is misleading to a certain extent. It has been included here as it gives rise to an emotional response from the viewer, reflecting the feelings of the former villagers of Capel Celyn.
