Hop into the cinema for this adorable family comedy about two unlikely friends caring for injured kangaroos in a remote Australian town. With plenty to “awww” about, this film is a treat for the whole family, including adults of all ages.

Kangaroo is a heart-warming comedy about an accident-prone TV personality, Chris Masterman, who becomes stranded in a town outside Alice Springs, located in the very center of Australia. 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 (as baby kangaroos are called) in the remote but stunning Outback community – an endeavour that proves to be life-changing for them both.
