Port Talbot is a proud steel-making town - and a surf spot like no other. Now, a green revolution threatens the very existence of this industrial community on the south Wales coast.
From the surfers’ viewpoint amid the waves, we witness a clash between industry jobs and the environment. We meet Angharad, a recent graduate steeped in environmental studies who takes a job at the steelworks; life-long steelworker Mark who is charged with maintaining the ailing plant; and young James, who must navigate an uncertain future after the tragic loss of his father. Diving deep into the vital dilemma of our time, Smoking Shores presents an urgent and intimate portrait of a community at a crossroads.
