The Raid
Watch TrailerInspired by actual events, MURU is the story of a local Police Sergeant ‘Taffy’ Tāwharau, who must choose between duty to his badge or his people, when the Government invoke antiterrorism powers to launch an armed raid on Taffy’s remote Urewera community, on a school day. This gripping action drama is not a re-creation, but a response to the 2007 Tūhoe raids. MURU is a Māori concept for 'forgiveness’.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
MURU deftly intertwines tense, visceral action with a profound moral dilemma, creating a narrative that is both politically charged and deeply human. The film's power lies in its intimate portrayal of a community under siege, anchored by a compelling central performance.
What lingers after the final frame is not just the adrenaline, but the weight of the unresolved history and the quiet search for muru—forgiveness. It's a courageous cinematic statement that resonates far beyond its local setting. — MovieFinder Editorial
