Wales has received refugees and migrants from across the world throughout the 20th century which has led to the development of multicultural communities especially in Cardiff as these clips record. However, some Welsh people have also emigrated to other countries and settled there.
Please note that English subtitles are available for some of the Welsh-language clips, and we are in the process of adding subtitles to the remaining ones.
