Sophie Howe explains how she tries to get politicians in Wales to put the future first. Sophie is the first Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, an independent role in which she has to keep politicians thinking about the future.

And as she does, she reveals how her own history motivates her to think about future generations, and how politics can better serve them. Producer: Giles Edwards.
