Documentary | 2017 | NR. 1hr 39min
DIRECTOR: Mick McIntyre, Kate McIntyre Clere FILMMAKER Q&A

From the heart of Australia comes this comprehensive and controversial documentary that focuses on one of the world's most recognizable icons, the kangaroo.

This groundbreaking film reveals the truth surrounding Australiaâ€™s love-hate relationship with its beloved icon. The kangaroo â€˜imageâ€™ is proudly used by top companies, sports teams and tourist souvenirs, yet as they hop across the vast continent, many consider them pests to be shot and sold for profit. KANGAROO unpacks a national paradigm where the relationship with kangaroos is examined.

Directors Kate McIntyre Clere and Mick McIntyre will talk about the making of the film during a special post-film Q&A.
