Aberfan Documentary to Air on BBC and Stream Free on iPlayer in UK
A new 59-minute documentary examines the 1966 Aberfan disaster and the community’s campaign over remaining coal tips. It airs on BBC Two and BBC One Wales and streams free on BBC iPlayer in the UK.
TechRadar said the documentary tracks the efforts of survivors and activists over the 60 years since the disaster as they sought removal of the remaining coal tips from their village. The article says the community fought the establishment and got its wish, and that the film reflects on the darkest days while celebrating the power of community. Nathan Carr is listed as editor and Amanda Lyon as executive producer.
Viewers in the UK can watch the programme on BBC iPlayer for free or on the free-to-air channels BBC Two, or BBC One Wales for viewers in Wales. TechRadar said an iPlayer account requires a UK postcode and a valid TV Licence.
Outside the UK, TechRadar said the documentary is not available on television or streaming in the United States, Canada or Australia. The article says access to BBC iPlayer is geo-blocked and suggests using a VPN, naming NordVPN as its top choice and citing an offer of up to 75% off. It adds that users should not breach broadcaster terms and conditions and that it does not support illegal or malicious use of VPN services.
The TechRadar article includes promotional pricing information for NordVPN alongside its viewing instructions.
