CHASING ROO

Director & Producer: Skye Fitzgerald,

The legally sanctioned harvesting of kangaroos in Australia equates to the largest commercial killing of a land-based animal in the world each year. CHASING ROO is an intimate portrait of the Kangaroo harvesting industry from the POV of those who professionally hunt Kangaroos – in tension with wildlife rescue experts who have devoted their lives to saving the very animals being killed.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
