Description
A heart-warming story about a young Indigenous girl and a disgraced TV host who form an unlikely friendship and work together to rescue and rehabilitate a group of orphaned joeys in a remote outback community.
When Chris, a disgraced TV personality, finds himself stranded in an outback town, he teams up with 12-year-old Indigenous girl Charlie. The pair form an unlikely friendship and work together to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned joeys in the remote outback community.
Based on a true story and the hit Australian film featuring Ryan Corr, Lily Whiteley, Deborah Mailman and Brooke Satchwell, Kangaroo is a heart-warming story about friendship, grief and finding your place in the world.
