Tuesday 24 May 2016Over 400 New Zealand state schools have closed in the last 15 years. New Zealand children are falling in the world rankings in science, reading and mathematics. What is going wrong with New Zealand's education system, and why can't every child have an equal opportunity to succeed in it? Should we worry that Chinese children seem to be doing better than ours at school? Should there be bonuses for good teachers? And have Tomorrow's Schools been a success or not? Former teacher and documentary maker Bryan Bruce is deeply concerned about what is happening to New Zealand's education system, and has been filming in Finland, China and America; talking with some of the world's leading educators. What he's discovered challenges traditional ideas about how we should be teaching children to prepare them for the future.

Thursday 17 April 2014Did New Zealand give a home to genocidal killers? Nazi Hunter sees Wayne Stringer investigate 47 displaced persons "who originally came to New Zealand at the end of WWII." This film interweaves his secret year-long investigation with the story of his prime suspect — an elderly North Shore man who had been a machine gunner in the “mobile murder unit” responsible for the killing of thousands of Eastern European Jews in Holocaust. Stringer travelled to the Baltic States where he was given access to war records held for years in KGB archives safely behind the Iron Curtain and visited the killing grounds in Lithuania and Belarus. He also linked in with war crimes investigators from other countries. The film poses the question: as a result of the investigation into suspected Nazi war criminals, has New Zealand become a more or less safe place for modern era war criminals looking for a bolt hole?

Thursday 28 February 2013This documentary allowed sufferers and their families to tell their personal stories in the daily battle against anorexia nervoa and bulimia nervosa; the signs, the struggles, the guilt, and the long road to recovery. This documentary shows anorexia is not a state of mind that can be turned off and on at will. This illness can, and does, happen to anyone. No galmourising of thinness, no using of skeletal forms; just ordinary New Zealand families caught in the grip of this tenacious, complex and often fatal illness. Dying to Eat explores the complexity of the illness, the importance of early treatment and reinforces the need for community support, understanding, and openness.

Thursday 2 August 2012The Price of Fish investigates the ways foreign charter fishing vessels - so called ‘slave ships’ - are plundering New Zealand fish stocks and abusing their Indonesian crews. The NZ domestic fishing fleet is in trouble. In the last 10 years the number of boats has halved. Russian and Korean factory trawlers are plundering NZ waters and they are paid by NZ companies to do it. Many NZ companies own or lease quota and instead of using Kiwi fishing boats to catch it, they charter foreign trawlers. Some of these foreign trawlers demonstrate a cavalier attitude to NZ law, marine regulations and sustainable fishing practices. Film-maker Guye Henderson investigates allegations of deliberate over-fishing, doctored catch reports, illegal dumping and the mistreatment of Indonesian crews, including physical and sexual abuse.
