Maya Newell is an Australian director visiting NZ as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival. Her film, In My Blood it Runs follows the story of a young aboriginal boy Dujuan - a child-healer, a good hunter and fluent in three languages. And yet, at school, the teachers say he is failing as his strength and talents go unnoticed. He is also facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and police in a climate that saw proof of torture occurring in a youth detention facility in Don Dale. The film is made in collaboration with Dujuan's family as he navigates an education system that is set up for him to fail. Lillian Hanly spoke with director Maya Newell and started by asking her to describe the film.

This week, the Broadcasting Standards Authority released new research looking into the impact sex and nudity on our TV screens, have on children. The review found some studies found nudity on screen that is educational can provide a positive context for sexuality education. But, it also found that a large number of studies concluded that exposure to such media impacts on the attitudes and behaviours of children and young people. 

Stewart Sowman-Lund spoke to BSA Chief Executive, Belinda Moffat - and started by asking her what the research tells us.

For years now, the development of Ihumātao has been a contentious topic for everyone involved. In 2014 Auckland City, using the Special Housing Areas Act, designated 32 hectares adjacent to the Ōtuataua Stonefields Historic Reserve as a 'Special Housing Area'. This decision has since divided both iwi and public opinion. Here are a few segments dedicated to this, firstly the history of Ihumātao, then the Prime Minister commenting on the issue, an excerpt from a speech made by organiser Pania Newton, and some live coverage and discussion around what was happening at the site on the morning of the 24th July - the day after Fletcher officials and NZ Police moved onto the site to serve an eviction notice.
