Waru is a 2017 New Zealand semi-anthology drama film about the tangi (funeral) of a small boy named Waru who dies at the hands of his caregiver, and how the boy's death impacts the community.

Production

NZ On Air and New Zealand Film Commission funding was obtained in 2015.

The film consists of eight 10-minute long takes, written and directed by nine Māori women (one on each of the first seven stories, with two on the last one, "Titty & Bash"). The producers issued a challenge to the film-makers: Each story had to have a female lead, begin at 9:59am, and be shot in one day, using one continuous take.
