A film re-telling the events of the 2007 police raids in Te Urewera premiered last night at the opening of the New Zealand International Film Festival.
Muru is based around the anti-terrorism powers invoked by the government to launch an armed raid on the people of Tuhoe.
It premieres in cinemas on 1 September, and writer and director Tearepa Kahi hopes it will prompt new conversations in Aotearoa.
He spoke to Corin Dann.
