A Special Screening to celebrate International Women’s Day on Friday 8th March.
A groundbreaking production from eight female Maori filmmakers, WARU is the story of a small New Zealand town coming to terms with a bitter tragedy – the death of a small boy (Waru) at the hands of his caregiver.
Eight ten-minute segments, each shot in a single take, set at exactly the same time and with a female lead, focus on the impact of Waru’s death on different corners of the community.
Waru gives a powerful insight into a little-seen culture and tells a universal story which has been resonating with audiences and critics worldwide.
