Duration: 12 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two WalesLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

Documentary series which showcases short films made by talented new filmmakers as part of It's My Shout training scheme.

A Hidden Portrait, directed by Paul Hunt, is the remarkable story of Joe Bevans from Pembrokeshire who was taken away from his family at the age of 15 as he had learning difficulties, and subsequently spent over 50 years in long-term care institutions all over Wales, latterly at Bron y Neuadd hospital in Llanfairfechan.

His story would have been forgotten if it wasn't for a particular nurse who happened to be an artist and decided to paint Joe. Show less
