Description
Set against the backdrop of one of Wales' most devastating disasters, Black River is a gripping tale of journalism, politics and personal conviction.
In 1966, Fleet Street's intrusive reporting of the Aberfan disaster was smearing the picture-perfect image of Wales. For journalist Harry Roberts, this was a painful reminder of his own failure to cover the tragedy. As he becomes embroiled in local politics, Harry must navigate the complex web of power and persuasion to convince the national press to lay off Aberfan.
With no easy answers, Harry is forced to confront the difficult choices between his love for Wales and his commitment to journalistic integrity. Will he find a way to persuade others, or will the truth about that rainy day in October 1966 remain hidden?
