Nigel Latta delves head first into the key social issues facing New Zealanders. NZ spends more than a billion dollars a year running our prisons. But what are we getting for our money? What’s really going on with our prison system? Why are New Zealands rates of family violence so high? Nigel delves into the factors influencing our domestic violence rates and meets some of the people working towards making our communities safer. He takes a serious look into our drinking culture, and turns the camera on our favourite indulgence- sugar! Finally he takes himself back to school to have a look into NCEA and our education system. Spending time at both primary and high schools, he discovers learning is not what it used to be.
