001 (BHN Special) Paula Penfold on her Fire and Fury Documentary
The Department of Conversation with Pat BrittendenShow Notes
Last weekend Stuff Circuit released a special project that explores who's driving a violent, misinformed New Zealand - and why.
In the 'Fire and Fury' press release Stuff claims they "began with a day of violence but ended up somewhere much more frightening."
Since Fire and Fury was released more news this week has been released about how some of those groups featured in the documentary have made it clear they have a desire to get involved in local body politics nefariously to attempt to make New Zealand ungovernable.
In this episode investigative journalist, researcher and reporter for the documentary Paula Penfold joins us for the hour live to chat about Fire and Fury, the reception and fallout from it, why they did it and anything more she can add to the conversation in NZ today.
