From Afternoons, 1:40 pm on 19 July 2022

'Muru', a new film from the director behind 'Poi E: The Story of our Song' and 'Mt. Zion', will make its world premier at the Whanau Marama NZ International Film Festival, where it has been announced as the opening night film.

It dramatises the controversial 2007 police raids on the Tuhoe community of Urewera, where 18 people were arrested under suspicion of domestic terrorism.

It stars Cliff Curtis as a conflicted Tuhoe police sergeant and activist Tame Iti as himself.
