Kim's Degree Show, entitled "Survival" explored the Aberfan Disaster were 144 residents of this valley's town were killed by a collapsing coal slag heap that had sat precariously above the community for decades. Almost a whole generation of children were lost as the school took the brunt of the landfall, and the heart of the community was ripped out. However, Aberfan has survived and rebuilt, and this disaster eventually lead to the removal of over 31,000 acres of spoil tips, and the regreening of the valleys.
