Nigel Latta

Season 1

TV-PG
Nigel Latta looks at the issues in a hard-hitting 6 part documentary series about tough issues facing all New Zealanders

Problems with Child Abuse, Poverty & Growing Inequality, Alcohol, the Education system, the Prison system and our growing rates of obesity & diabetes - they are all hot topics.

Almost everyone seems to have an opinion - often informed by little more than single sentence headlines or talkback radio.

The most important issues we face as a country seem to be ones that we understand the least. Clinical psychologist Nigel Latta sets out on a journey to find out what's really going on - sorting out fact from spin, and real solutions from empty rhetoric.
