Watch Muru for free

Inspired by actual 2007 events, Muru is a response to the illegitimate raids by Government armed forces on the people of Tūhoe. Muru is a response to the raids, not a reenactment. It tells the story of local Police Sergeant ‘Taffy’ Tāwharau (Cliff Curtis), who must choose between duty to his badge or to protect his people, when the Government invoke antiterrorism powers to launch an armed raid on Taffy’s remote Te Urewera community. Muru aspires to capture the heart and spirit of the Tūhoe people and te reo o Tūhoe. Muru is an action-drama film from award-winning New Zealanders, Writer and Director Tearepa Kahi (Poi E: The Story of our Song, Mt. Zion), world renowned Actor Cliff Curtis and Artist Tame Iti, the film is a response to the 2007 Tūhoe raids.
