The Patagonian Bones

SYNOPSIS

In 2015 it will be 150 years since Welsh settlers arrived in Patagonia. Their descendants still live in southern Argentina. But not all the settlers survived – recently discovered bones may be those of the first Welsh woman to die there in 1865. This film tells us how a set of human remains may close the circle on a fascinating story that spans half the globe.
