2. The Flood
After the news crews leave, what happens next? Catrin Nye presents a series about the aftermath and the long-term effects of tragedy and trauma on humans and on a community.
In the early hours of Saturday the 15th November 2025, a flood hit Monmouth that was worse than anything in living memory. Hundreds of homes were evacuated, businesses suffered millions of pounds of damage - many families lost everything.
It’s a story you’ve heard before - floods are a part of life - but have you really listened? Can you imagine what it’s like for your kids to be scared to go to bed because it’s raining?
That flood was months ago - and yet people are still living in hotels - some can’t even enter their homes.
Catrin Nye speaks to affected residents, business owners and experts to uncover the devastating emotional and psychological impact of floods.
Locals fear Monmouth could become an unviable place to live - especially if it floods again.
As more and more communities across Wales are permanently affected by increased rainfall, After the Cameras explores how our changing climate is now changing lives.
