I'm a Kiwi working in documentary production in Canada, and this is one of the reasons I am nervous to come home and work in this industry. People care about documentary here, they value it, and the money is available to produce well researched, high quality, far-reaching stories. The CBC, while rapidly losing government funding, still makes and commissions shows that make people think. These shows may not rate, they may not appeal to everyone, but they are important, and they matter. If TVNZ isn't funding these docs, who will?
