A video of a media tour inside the earthquake-damaged Hotel Grand Chancellor. The video includes footage of the eastern side of the ground floor of the hotel, the stairwells, some of the rooms, and the view through an opening in the side of the building. It also includes an interview with Jack Harris from Fletchers Construction about the work that is being done to support the structure.
This NZBC religious programme goes where TV cameras had never gone before: behind the walls of the Carmelite monastery in Christchurch. There, it finds a community of 16 Catholic nuns, members of a 400-year-old order, who have shut themselves off from the outside world to lead lives devoted to prayer, contemplation and simple manual work. Despite their seclusion, the sisters are unphased by the intrusion and happy to discuss their lives and their beliefs; while the simplicity and ceremony of their world provides fertile ground for the monochrome camerawork.
