Description:
"Hedd Wyn" is a 1992 Welsh film about a farmer's son and poet named Ellis Humphrey Evans, who lives in the Welsh countryside. In August 1917, he competes for the top prize at the National Eisteddfod, a prestigious Welsh poetry competition held that year in Birkenhead, England. After submitting his work under the name "Hedd Wyn," meaning "Blessed Peace," Evans leaves his home to join the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in Liverpool, despite his reservations about the war. He is sent to fight in the trenches of Flanders. "Hedd Wyn" was the first Welsh-language film to receive an Oscar nomination.
