An award-winning documentary is set to be broadcast on TVs across Wales for the first time tomorrow evening.

Heart Valley, which won the Best Documentary Short at the Tribeca 2022 film festival in New York, will be shown on BBC Two Wales on Tuesday, July 26, at 7pm.

The documentary follows a day in the life of a Wilf Davies, a shepherd from the small village of Cellan in Ceredigion.

After a chance article on him in a newspaper in 2021, Wilf’s perspective on life struck a chord with film-maker Christian Cargill in the height of lockdown.

Wilf has never left his valley, eats the same meal every day and works his farm alone, where his family of over one hundred black-spotted sheep rely on him. And yet, he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Although faced with a rapidly changing farming community, Wilf’s inquisitive attitude and connection to nature provoke big questions about what it is people should truly value.

It is the first film directed by London-based Christian Cargill, with music composed by Scottish multi-instrumentalist Erland Cooper.

The short documentary will also be available on BBC iPlayer after it has aired tomorrow.
