Michael Sheen's Valleys Rebellion

A 175 years ago, 5,000 armed men marched down from the South Wales valleys to the centre of Newport. They were demanding the right to vote and reform of the political system. Twenty two men were shot dead by troops. Actor Michael Sheen goes on a journey to find out why we’re not using the vote that the Chartists fought so hard for.
