SLEEPING DRAGONS: The Welsh Wilderness of 1958-2016

What if Documentaries

Wales, the red-headed stepchild of British football. They could never have the glory or expectation of England, they couldn’t even lay claim to the history or moments of hope that belongs to Scotland.

When England were winning the World Cup, when Scotland were going to major tournaments: Wales watched them on the telly. They spent a literal lifetime in the wilderness, between 1958 and 2016. This is a film about those times.
