Monday 22 February marks 10 years since the devastating 2011 Christchurch earthquake. 

For the last decade filmmaker Gerard Smyth has been documenting the city's recovery from the quake and looking in particular at the rebuild of the central city. 

Tonight Gerard's documentary called When A City Rises: The People's Story will air on TVNZ 1.

It follows up from his prior film released immediately after the earthquakes, called When A City Falls. 

Gerard Smyth and James Lundy who also contributed to the film, joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss the documentary ahead of its debut.
