Episode 5
Monday 17 February 2014
Aftermath explores and analyses what’s happening in Christchurch (Otautahi) and Canterbury following on from one of New Zealand’s deadliest natural disasters. It has forever changed the landscape of a beautiful city that was rich with heritage buildings, a booming economy and opportunities for all until the tectonic plates moved without warning causing destruction on a scale not seen for decades. This investigative five part documentary series takes an in depth look at critical areas impacted by these earthquakes: heritage significance, social impact, scientific exploration, business and financial effects, and the rebuild of Christchurch.
