Every language achievement is always a starting point, never a point of arrival. The political strength of a minority language is measured not only by its ability to build social and cultural cohesion, but also by the courage and determination with which it succeeds in facing the challenges of the present and the future. A language endures if it can speak to new generations and thus if it\\u2019s able to regenerate and absorb new languages,meaning if it can make itself speak. Roger Williams\\u2019 movies, in recounting the political struggle over the creation of the S4C television channel, with its entire programming schedule in Welsh, tells an exemplary story in this respect, not only for its own community. Because it testifies to how important a media perspective that is not purely conservative, but flexible and
innovative, politically useful in the daily struggle that languages sustain in order to maintain themselves as a historical culture and restore their own worldview.
