Environment, History, New Zealand, Politics|2020|G

Munted is the story of the Canterbury earthquakes. On September 4, 2010, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake rocked Canterbury and started a chain of events that changed the city forever. Stuff reporters Philip Matthews and Charlie Gates lived through the quakes and reported on the aftermath. Ten years on, they present their view of the political and social fallout that followed. Over seven episodes we explore how and why a New Zealand city was munted. First by mother nature and then by politics.
