A new documentary has shed new light on the 'second wave' of New Zealand's meth crisis.Â
On June 12, 2016 police seized almost 500kg of methamphetamine at a remote beach in Northland.Â
That single find, with a street value of $450 million, was bigger than the total seizures of the previous two years combined.Â
The find sparked the origins of Fighting the Demon, a new documentary from the New Zealand Herald that looks into the new era of meth addiction in New Zealand.Â
For 20 years, law enforcement had fought to eradicate the drug and lost. Now meth is purer and more available than ever before.Â
Reporter Kirsty Johnston joined Andrew Dickens to discuss the documentary and what she discovered while working on it.Â
