NZ On Air has announced over $9m of funding for Factual projects that reveal powerful insights about Aotearoa’s past, present and future.

Reviving a much-loved documentary strand, TVNZ 1’s Documentary New Zealand will explore contemporary stories from around New Zealand that reflect the challenges we face as we navigate the complexities of our daily lives.

A Boy Called Piano will tell the story of one Pasifika boy’s experiences alongside thousands of Māori and Pasifika children who suffered abuse in state care. Also for Māori Television, Crown Lynn: A Māori Story examines a time when New Zealand was on the cusp of social and political change, through the eyes of Crown Lynn Pottery’s former Māori employees and their whānau.
