‘My life was in danger’: The run club that saved my life

By Re: News in partnership with Paki Productions

"When someone asks me how I am, I want to be able to mean it when I say I'm allgoods." 

 ALLGOODS is a new six-part docu series made by Paki Productions with the support of NZ On Air. 

When Toi realises his wellbeing is out of balance, he ropes in his mate Pab to come along for the ride. What starts as a personal check-in quickly becomes a kaupapa; a raw, honest, and often confronting exploration of what it really means to be well as young Māori and Pasifika in Aotearoa today. 

Watch now on TVNZ+ and YouTube.
