About Asia Downunder
About Asia Downunder
Asia Downunder is all about Asians in New Zealand, their lives,
their interests and their achievements. Asia Downunder features
stories about Asian Kiwis, young and old, from topics as diverse as
art, business, sport, music, fashion, culture, lifestyle, food and
many more. The show might tackle topical or even controversial
stories such as refugees, race or health.
There will also be in depth coverage of Kiwi Asian issues and some
of the shows are dedicated to single issue topics. On the table are
plans to make shows devoted to conservation, youth achievement and
also a show devoted to how New Zealand has welcomed refugees.
Documentaries will be in the mix with two in the pipeline about New
Zealanders lending a helping hand to developing country
communities.
Our on-screen reporters will continue to bring plenty of
interesting stories which will spark discussion in upcoming
programmes. Asia Downunder's reporting line-up for 2011:

has been with the programme since the very first episode in
