Description One Simple Question.
A nation's identity at stake.
Brought together to decide once and for a;; - New Zealand or Aotearoa? - this unlikely panel of personalities quickly discovers that nothing about the debate is simple. As opinions clash and tensions rise, the group's differences become more of a hindrance than a help. But as they struggle to reach a consensus, something far bigger looms over their discussion
