KANGAROO: A Love Hate Story
National treasure or common pest? This fascinating documentary delves into Australia’s relationship with its most recognised native emblem.
Drawing on interviews with conservationists, politicians, and farmers, as well as some amazing archival footage, this film builds a riveting picture of one nation’s struggle with its most iconic animal. Recognisable faces include BBC2’s Kangaroo Dundee and the late Steve Irwin’s wife, Terri Irwin.
Full of passion, heart, and bloody hatred, Kangaroo: A Love Hate Story is an eye-opening examination of culling, an emotive issue shrouded in secrecy, lies, and vested interest. A film not to be missed, but definitely not suitable for children!
The screening included am exclusive pre-recorded introduction from the directors plus an exclusive post-screening interview with the directors, recorded by our assistant programmer Dr Stephen Morgan
“Eye-opening…[and a] heartfelt defence of a … creature outsiders might assume needs no defence.”
