Rising up

Close Up is in Sumner tonight, a suburb rising up from the destruction of last February's earthquake.

Families here have had their lives turned upside down, like the Bradley's who spoke to Close Up in September 2010.

The Chairman of the Sumner Residents Association, Darren Wright, will also be explaining how residents are moving on from the quake.

Red Zone

Many people's lives in Christchurch are now determined by the colour of a sticker - indicating whether their home is fit to live in or fit for nothing.

Close Up takes a tour through the Red Zone spread in the city's eastern suburbs and meets Philip Emery from the Red Stickered Group.

A van for a home

Charlotte and William, 71 and 80, may have thought their days of living on the road were behind them.

But since the earthquake they've been forced out of their home and onto the street - the street right outside their front door.
