One man’s story, one year on. Guled Mire challenges New Zealand’s response to the Christchurch Mosque Attacks.

A year after one of the darkest days in New Zealand’s history, frustration grows at the lack of change.

Is New Zealand racist? Worried the time has passed, Guled steps back into the spotlight and confronts the issues of islamophobia that no one else will.
