Four unlikely friends, connected through social football, fall victim to methamphetamine addiction. Acting as the catalyst, the drug sends them on a disastrous, yet hilarious roller-coaster ride that will change their lives forever.

Inspired 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’.

The story of the rise and fall and rise of one of New Zealand’s most loved and iconic bands, The Exponents.
