‘The Forgotten Team’ and ‘The Dragon On My Shirt’ have been nominated in the Digital Original and Production Manager (Factual) categories.
‘The Forgotten Team’ is a beautiful documentary that tells the tale of the overlooked squad of the 1970’s, and how they managed to get to the quarter-finals of the 1976 European Championships.
Through exclusive interviews from the likes of Gareth Edwards, Brian Flynn and Nick Burnell, alongside archive footage from the time, RedWall+ takes a trip down memory lane and relives some of the best, underrated seasons of Welsh football.
This documentary was directed by David Williams and produced by EatSleep Media for RedWall+.
The Forgotten Team
‘The Dragon On My Shirt’, directed by Vicky Morton, aims to drive change by tackling racism and amplifying the stories of Black, Asian and Ethnically Diverse Cymru players.
There are five thought-provoking episodes, presented by Darren Chetty, that features Eddie Parris, George Berry, Wendy Reilly, Safia Middleton-Patel, Nathan Blake, Rob Earnshaw and Neil Taylor.
The series explores the experiences of some of the racially minoritised footballers who have represented Cymru over the years.
