Kangaroo is a heart-warming family comedy about ex-TV personality Chris Masterman, who becomes stranded in a town outside Alice Springs (Mparntwe). There, he teams up with 12-year-old indigenous Australian girl Charlie. The pair form an unlikely friendship and work together to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned joeys in the remote but stunning Outback community – an endeavour that proves to be life-changing for them both.

Kangaroo is a heartwarming Australian family film that combines humour,emotion and a strong message about wildlife conservation, making it a delightful watch for audience of all ages.
