Inside New Zealand Questions: Youth Suicide
After the end credits there is an Interview with Deputy Prime Minister Jim Anderton who lost a daughter to suicide.
A NZ drama about three disturbed young adults - Norman, a 25 year old arts graduate; Jennifer, a 16 year old high achiever; and Matiu, a 17 year old unemployed youth, who decide to end their lives. In 1997, 561 New Zealanders took their own lives - 142 of them were aged 15-24 years, an average of 3 young lives lost a week. For every person who commits suicide, at least 6 people are affected - people who are left with unanswered questions. A one-hour studio discussion follows, hosted by John Campbell.
