Movie Synopsis:

Inspired by the life of Chris "Brolga" Barns, the founder of The Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs, the film Kangaroo is a heartwarming family comedy. It follows Chris Masterman, a disgraced former TV personality, who becomes stranded in a remote Outback town after a car accident. While there, he forms an unlikely and life-changing friendship with a 12-year-old Indigenous girl named Charlie. Together, they embark on a mission to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned kangaroo joeys, an endeavor that helps them both find a new sense of purpose and the importance of community.
