The Regions is a docuseries that gives a snapshot of the lives of regional rangatahi in Aotearoa and what matters to them most.
In this new series, Re: News celebrates and unpacks what life is like for young New Zealanders living in the country’s regions.

We visit South Canterbury to talk to a young hunter who is afraid to seek help for his depression for fear of having his gun licence revoked. On the West Coast we meet a group of teenagers trying to tackle how lonely they feel. In the Bay of Plenty, a young woman is advocating for better neurodiversity support for regional young people. In Northland we try the talk of the town: the fish sandwich at the Hokianga fish and chip shop. And we go inside the boy racer scene in Southland.
