Film and TV reviewer Tamar Munch takes a look at the new US drama The Outsider, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, and Help Is On The Way, a Kiwi documentary based on the 6.3 Christchurch earthquake and what happened to the 36 guest trapped on the top floors of the Hotel Grand Chancellor.

On 22 February 2011, Christchurch police sargeant Dave Harvey was outside the earthquake-damaged Hotel Grand Chancellor on Cashel Street, unsure if anyone was trapped inside. In case they were, he grabbed a can of spray paint and painted 'Help is on the way' in one-metre high letters on the road. Harvey's quick thinking really helped the people trapped in the hotel, says Clare Mackey, producer of the new documentary Help is on the Way.
