KANGAROO is a family comedy inspired by the life of Chris ‘Brolga’ Barns, founder of the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs.
It follows Chris Masterman (played by Ryan Corr), a former TV personality who finds himself stranded in a remote Outback town — where he meets 12-year-old Charlie, a spirited Indigenous girl with a talent for rescuing orphaned joeys. Together, they form an unlikely friendship — working to rehabilitate young kangaroos and finding a sense of connection and belonging in the process.
Set against the spectacular landscape of Central Australia, KANGAROO is a story about family, friendship, and conservation — brought to life by an incredible Australian cast including Ryan Corr, Deborah Mailman, Wayne Blair, and introducing newcomer Lily Whiteley.
With themes of community, wildlife rescue and the natural beauty of the Outback, KANGAROO is the kind of feel-good Australian story that families can experience together — with humour, heart, and a deep respect for the place it was made.
