New Zealand shuts the border. An unprecedented nationwide lockdown follows – and lives are in upheaval. We meet a scientist racing to develop breakthrough technology from the kitchen table (while keeping one eye on her newly walking toddler), workers whose livelihoods vanish overnight, and a health bureaucrat who will become a hated symbol of oppression for some and a hero for others (complete with commemorative T-shirts).
Made with the support of NZ on Air for Stuff by Te Pūrongo Productions.
