Wales…CYMRU…a small land of hills, mountains and once industrial valleys. A nation proud of its history and determined to guard its own unique inheritance. A people with their own culture with many still speaking its own distinct tongue — Welsh — or “Cymraeg” as the “Cymro” or Welshman might say. A land littered by castles and forts — remnants of battles of independence with their Anglo Saxon neighbors. Yet a land covered with churches and chapels that speak of other battles of a more spiritual nature. The land that became known as the Land of Revival. Through use of contemporary letters, interviews and photographs, this video examines the beginning and outbreak of the 1904 Welsh Revival, through the eyes and thoughts of the Revivalist himself, the 26-year-old Evan Roberts. From his conversion at 13 to the outbreak of Revival in November, 1904, the video traces the steps in his spiritual development from the coal mine and smithy to the grammar school at Newcastle Emlyn and the actual outbreak of Revival at his home church of Moriah Lougher.
