"Kiwis are eating themselves to death. More than 1000 New Zealanders die each year from obesity, more than double the annual road toll. However, unlike the vocal and visible campaigns to reduce road fatalities, the dangers of obesity are not heard, it is the silent killer. Obesity is expected to increase by a further 70 % in 2011. How will our already overburdened health care system cope as it is confronted with an ever-increasing number of obesity related health problems?
This documentary is an in-depth and deeply personal look at the next generation, who desperately need help." - (TVOne Publicity Press Kit)Interviews: Esther Poni, Lauren MacKenzie, Debbie MacKenzie, Associate Prof. Wayne CutField, Logan Tikaroa, Teina Tikaroa, Kura Marsters, Kevin Green, Nicky Green, Sita Tofilau, Maria Mudgway, Alda Lee, Prof. Iain Martin.
