Land of the Kiwi
Exactly 150 years ago, white settlers signed a treaty with the Maori which transferred ownership of New Zealand to the Queen of England. It was a spectacular but strange land.

With thrilling aerial photography this programme explores the fascinating scenery and natural history of this newly colonised land, first discovered 1,200 years ago by Polynesian navigators.

American couple caught up in a credit card crisis; the former Secretary of the US Treasury who went bankrupt to the tune of$50 million; the President of Argentina, whose country owes more than$60 billion to the world's banks; and the biggest debtor of them all, the USA.
