BORDER PATROL

A reality series about the New Zealand Customs agents who aim to prevent pest plants, animals, drugs and pornography filtering through the country's borders.  What they find is often mind-boggling. 

With hundreds of boats and planes, thousands of passengers and tonnes of freight arriving from overseas every week, New Zealand’s borders are constantly under threat - from drugs, weapons and pornography, to plant pests and animal diseases which could cripple the economy overnight.  And only a small number of men and women stand in their way. They’re the men and women of the NZ Customs Service and MAF, and their mission is to keep the country clean, green and safe. They are New Zealand’s border patrol.
