Muru Special Screening - CinefestOZ Broome First Nations Film Festival
Event description
Broome rolls out the red carpet for the screening of Muru, New Zealand’s entry for the 2023 Academy Awards Best International Feature Film category
Synopsis
Inspired by actual events, MURU is the story of a local Police Sergeant ‘Taffy’ Tāwharau (Cliff Curtis), 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’.
