New Zealand’s Dark Days | 101 East



101 East investigates New Zealand's worst mass shooting that killed dozens of innocent people.


Quiet, picturesque New Zealand was the last place most people expected to see a massacre.
"This is not us," the country grieved en masse after the Christchurch killings.
But as the dust settles on a mass shooting that saw 51 Muslims shot and killed as they prayed, community leaders, survivors and activists are starting to tell a different story.
They say alarms about rising Islamophobia and glaring loopholes in the gun laws were ignored repeatedly.
Despite New Zealand's harmonious image, refugees like Guled Mire say they have long battled racism.
