Siege (2012)

May 7, 2009, dawned as an unremarkable day for Senior Constables Len Snee, Grant Diver, and Bruce Miller. Their mission was simple: execute a routine search warrant on Jan Molenaar at 41 Chaucer Rd in Napier, suspected of cultivating cannabis. However, what should have been a standard operation spiraled into a terrifying 50-hour ordeal that would forever scar the tranquil facade of New Zealand. An unsuspecting suburban neighborhood became the epicenter of harrowing violence that left one police officer dead, two critically wounded, and an innocent civilian teetering on the precipice between life and death. Jan Molenaar, an ordinary man, transformed into an instrument of devastation, etching his name indelibly into the nation's psyche. 'Siege' is a chilling chronicle of one of New Zealand's most horrific displays of violence, set against an eerily commonplace backdrop. This is not just a tale of a city shaken to its core, but a story of individuals, families, and a police community whose lives would forever be altered by the events that unfolded on that fateful May day. The Napier Siege, as it came to be known, remains a haunting reminder of how quickly ordinary can turn into extraordinary, forever shrouded in the shadows of sorrow and loss.
