Description
The terrorist attacks in two Christchurch mosques on March 15, 2019 was New Zealand's worst peacetime shooting ever. It changed the lives of the victims' families, the survivors and the country's Muslim community forever. This is the story of that day, and the aftermath, told in their words - so we remember the people who lost their lives, rather than the man who took them.   In this episode, we hear in detail from those who were inside Al Noor mosque on March 15, those who had loved ones inside, and the authorities who responded to the attacks. This episode is not for sensitive ears and includes graphic descriptions of violence.
