About Face - Danny and Raewyn

This gritty, award-winning drama is set in Auckland suburbia. Danny and Raewyn's relationship is skating close to the edge. And so are their finances. Although the physical attraction between them remains, Raewyn (Jennifer Ward-Lealand) is growing tired of encouraging Danny (Peter Stevens from movie Dangerous Orphans) to make more effort. Then one night alcohol and memory collide with an order of black market meat, and everything turns on its head. One of the most acclaimed episodes of the About Face anthology series, Danny and Raewyn won funding after another episode fell through.

Danny and Raewyn was generally thought-provoking and refreshingly understated. If ever it was doubted that the wisest way to spend the television dollar is to make programmes about New Zealanders for New Zealanders, Danny and Raewyn should remove such doubts.
