Sunday Star Times 5/5 Stars. Sarah Watt, “the overall impact of Waru is stunning and it is impossible not to be moved and impressed in equal measure. A reviewer’s work is such we seldom get the luxury of time to watch a film more than once, but Waru is one I’ll be revisiting as soon as I can.”
WARU
Following the death of a child at the hands of his caregiver, eight Māori women are confronted by guilt, shame, pride and defeat but will ultimately risk everything for the greater good of their community…
Charm
The eight stories are all subtly linked and follow different female characters as they come to terms with Waru’s death and try to find a way forward in their community. In Māori, waru means 8.
Kerry Warkia & Kiel McNaughton, the Producers of Waru say their aim was to communicate the shared feelings we have towards child abuse in Aotearoa (New Zealand).
