Summary: A very special episode of the show this month, exploring the impact of child poverty from every angle. The episode was recorded live at Wellington's historic Paramount Cinema during an evening of short films highlighting New Zealand's child poverty problem. Film for Change Aotearoa produced a series of first-person testimonies which show the impact of poverty on children and families. The filmmakers and several voices from the films participated in a live Q&A. The evening also marked the world premiere of Sleeping Rough, a 14-minute documentary short about homelessness in New Zealand. The film was directed by filmmakers Tashima Richter, Caroline Goes and Joyce Chen, and shines a light on New Zealand's growing homelessness problem.
