Songs from The Inside II
Songs from the Inside is a television series that documents prison inmates writing and recording songs with a handful of New Zealand musicians. Now in its second season, the most recent series saw Anika Moa, Annie Crummer, Don McGlashan and Laughton Kora go into two Auckland correction facilities to mentor prisoners. Nick Atkinson talks with Laughton Kora about the project.
