NHNZ at the heart of every story

In Production

Working with broadcasters all over the world, NHNZ always has a huge variety of programs on the go. Here are a few of the programs we're making now:

Tribal Hunt

Tribal Hunt

For millions of years humans were hunter gatherers. They didn't hunt for pleasure, they hunted for survival. They didn't study their quarry, they understood it. They didn't live off the natural world, they lived with it. There are only a few places in the world where this relationship still exists. Die-hard conservationist Hayden Turner's goal is to find these places and learn from these hunters before their lifestyle and their knowledge disappears forever.
