Alun Menai Williams at Bisbal cemetary

Recent Projects include moving documentaries about Alun Menai Williams. In the 1930's he was one of about 200 Welshmen who secretly traveled to Spain to fight against fascist troops in the Spanish Civil War. Alun Menai Williams was a "sanitario" literally scrambling from one wounded to another giving them first aid.

The horrors he saw in Spain haunted him. For more than sixty years he didn't talk about the Spanish Civil War. After his wife died he did as she'd asked, and wrote down his story. That started a new emotional journey for Alun Menai Williams.

After nearly seven decades Blue Egg Productions' Sarah Dickins accompanied him as he returned to the battlefields of Spain for the first time since the war. Standing on the side of the River Ebro - the site of the fiercest battles - Alun Menai Williams confronted the ghosts that had haunted him for all that time.
