[imc-auckland-video] Foie gras

[Geraldene Peters]

Have just chatted off loop to Kim

The hikoi is talking up my weekend 'free time', but I could dash in to
introduce and contextualise the east timor and newsreal pieces; Debbie,
could do foie gras; and Kim, Outfoxed?

I think Chloe's programming breakdown would work best - the other option of
breaking part way through Outfoxed might run the risk of a) disrupting focus
on the argument, and b) is less than ideal from a maker's perspective
