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.

A love-Hate Story – this groundbreaking film reveals the truth surrounding Australia’s love-hate relationship with its beloved icon. The kangaroo image is proudly used by top companies, sports teams and as tourist souvenirs, yet when they hop across the vast continent some consider them to be pests to be shot and sold for profit. KANGAROO unpacks a national paradigm where the relationship with kangaroos is examined.

“Kangaroo is a sobering depiction of how deep cultural divides affect the future of a species, even one so seemingly ubiquitous and resilient.” – Village Voice

“Has the potential to help bring kangaroo welfare and management into much sharper focus in Australia and internationally.” – Variety

“The filmmakers are determined to sound a wake-up siren, and they blast it here with extra strength.” – New York Times
