Welsh ‘Congo House’ Leads to Nelson Mandela

“How did this find you? It’s quite an interesting story!” says the director, Tudur Evans, who is actually one of ours. He came to Uganda many years ago as a young volunteer helping us with a documentary production about Batwa “Pygmies” — and now he is a pro advising us on the videos we make!

This film, funded by Colwyn Bay Town Council, was produced by Historian, Dr. Marian Gwyn, Crefft Media and directed by Tudur Evans. It features family members of Reverend Hughes and follows the ‘Congo House’ development from vision to the controversial end #colwynbay #northwales #welshhistory #wales
