Press Release – NZ On AirAudiences will be treated to stories covering a huge range of topics in the latest announcement of funding for Non-Fiction projects from NZ On Air from teen dads and fangirls to choral groups gunning for world recognition. The projects have been supported in the final funding round of the calendar year, which saw $18.7m committed to 34 Non-Fiction projects, in what became a ‘super-charged’ round. NZ On Air Head of Funding Amie Mills emphasises the decision as a strategic move. Headlining the new funded projects is The Choir Games, for Sky Open and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). For Whakaata Māori and Māori+, Te Whatu o Poutini is a one-off documentary that will explore the perilous future of one of our most precious and finite resources, pounamu or New Zealand greenstone.
