"We need change. Any change is better than no change. It hasn't been working here for decades and decades."
So says 33 year old Natalie Jones of Cwm near Ebbw Vale in the country of Blaenau Gwent.
Her sentiments are echoed by many residents of the village.
It's why, when in 2016, people were given the chance to vote for change, 62% of people who went to the polls in Blaenau Gwent, voted to leave the European Union.
Eye On Wales visited Cwm shortly after the referendum.
In this programme, Oliver Hides revisits the area and talks to a hill sheep farmer, an ex steel worker and councillor, his wife who runs a breakfast club, an ex-miner and his wife who used to make carpets, and a 33 year old mother of three young children.
