"Inside New Zealand: High Time?" is the most successful installment of the "Inside New Zealand Series", having been broadcast the most times (three) and winning TV Times Pick Of The Week every time.
Director Arik Reiss turns his camera on the underground cannabis market, where he is granted unprecedented access to black market growing operations, gangland tinny houses, and illicit cannabis clubs that are openly flouting the law.
