Muru

9/10

I am a biased viewer regarding this film. Simply because it involves my extended family and scenes that depict the Tuhoe people and their way of life. A reminder of the many times spent with my Father and family down home. Memories I will treasure forever.

In terms of content. I am only aware of the events from hearing about them growing up. So cannot comment on the actual events themselves. But I do realise that the dramatisation was needed for effect and makes for an almost Hollywood-esque type viewing. Definitely action packed once the ball gets rolling.

For those of you on the outside looking in. I feel you will come to love the characters as they are true personalities in real life alongside some Tuhoe action!

Whanaunatanga! Kia pai te pikitia!

Everyone else! I hope you enjoy this small glimpse into the life and a small history of Tuhoe!
