BBC journalist Jeremy Bowen returns home to Wales in search of what it means to be Welsh. Around three million people live in Wales, and their view of being Welsh depends on where they live, what they do, how much they earn, and whether they live their lives in English or Welsh. Jeremy is sometimes made to feel he’s not Welsh enough. He doesn't speak Welsh and hasn't lived in Wales for a long time. But he doesn't believe that dilutes his Welshness at all. In this episode, he wants to understand how Wales' geographic boundaries have shaped different cultures and distinct identities across the nation. With contributions from Rhys Jones, Marion Loeffler and Aled Roberts. Produced by Glyn Tansley
