Synopsis

Producer/Director Paula Jones spent intensive time on the streets of Auckland, getting to know the ‘street kids' that are the subjects of this documentary before she started shooting. With minimal posturing for the camera, the result is a close portrait of young homeless people with names like Tapu, Baby Girl and Boom Boom. In a non-judgemental way Jones shows viewers the glue sniffing, alcohol abuse and unplanned pregnancy that is an everyday way of life for many of these kids. The Hidden was an Inside New Zealand documentary for TV3.

I watched this doco in 2004 and it was brilliant. Where can I get a copy of it as I think all teens should watch it.

Also what are the producers thoughts on catching up with the guys that appeared in the doco and see how life is now for them?

Thanks for bring this into our lounge only a few k's away from where it is happening.
