A sweet trailer has been released for the animal rescue film Kangaroo. The movie is based on a true story, and it stars Ryan Corr, Lily Whiteley, Deborah Mailman, Rachel House, Rarriwuy Hick, Rick Donald, and Brooke Satchwell. The movie is directed by Kate Woods, (Alibrandi, Castle, The Lincoln Lawyer), from a screenplay written by Harry Cripps, along with Peta-Lee Cole-Manolis, Danielle Maclean, and Melina Marchetta.
The synopsis reads: “Kangaroo is a heart-warming family comedy about ex TV personality, Chris Masterman, who becomes stranded in an Outback town outside Alice Springs. There, he teams up with 12-year-old Indigenous girl Charlie.
“The pair form an unlikely friendship and work together to rescue & rehabilitate orphaned joeys in the remote but stunning Outback community – an endeavor that proves to be life-changing for them both. Kangaroo is inspired by the life of Chris ‘Brolga’ Barns, who’s the founder of The Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs.”
This looks like a heartwarming family film that will be great to watch together this fall. Check out the trailer below, and watch Kangaroo in Australian theaters on September 18th. Stay tuned for the US release.
