K ROAD CHRONICLES
This groundbreaking series gives an ongoing voice to the homeless and impoverished of Aotearoa New Zealand. K Road Chronicles has become a highly regarded project, shedding light on the lives of the marginalised and providing a platform for their stories with journalist and host Six, having made a significant impact over four seasons.
K Road Chronicles delves into the gritty reality of those living within the margins of society, shining a critical eye on overlooked issues and sharing deeply personal stories of hope and inspiration from our street communities.
Six’s unique perspective stems from her own lived experience of homelessness on Auckland’s iconic Karangahape Road, as well as her daily interactions with the vibrant characters, homeless individuals, social workers, and others within this community through her street publication, the K’ Road Chronicle.
In her hometown, Six visits a night shelter where she was first homeless while transitioning. She discovers the place has changed immeasurably to meet the needs of today’s more gender-diverse population.
After revisiting her hometown of Hamilton, Six reflects on coming out trans, becoming homeless, finding shelter and studying for a journalism degree. She decides to visit her mum.
There are hundreds of young people who are couch surfing or crashing at friends who don’t even realise they are homeless.
Sammy was a sex worker when she lived on the streets. Six and Sammy reminisce about the times they spent together living on the streets as they revisit their old haunts.
Keith is a synthetic cannabis addict. He’s been on and off the streets for 14 years. We follow his struggle to find a habitable place to stay.
Can you be homeless and care for a pet? To find out, Six follows Ben, a young man who has a dog called Buddy.
Just when all seems to be going well, Six is burgled. This puts the production of the K’ Road Chronicle at risk.
