About
E2 Productions is a small television production company specialising in documentary.
The truth can be an elusive thread .
E2 Productions is the production company behind a series of documentaries highlighting deficiencies in New Zealand's building space.
What began as an expose on our leaky building disaster and its broad effects on the people of New Zealand expanded into stories about badly built, badly defective apartment buildings all over the country. And a building industry that would rather look the other way than admit there is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Sadly, defective buildings are still being built, and E2 Productions has recently completed a three part documentary investigation into the whole dismal affair, titled A Living Hell; Apartment Disasters 2.
