KANGAROO A LOVE-HATE STORY

Director & Producer: Mick McIntyre and Kate McIntyre Clere,

 Kate McIntyre Clere and Mick McIntyre

From the heart of Australia comes this comprehensive and controversial documentary that focuses on one of the world’s most recognisable icons, the kangaroo. This groundbreaking film reveals the truth surrounding Australia’s love-hate relationship with its beloved icon. The kangaroo ‘image’ is proudly used by top companies, sports teams and tourist souvenirs, yet as they hop across the vast continent many consider them pests to be shot and sold for profit.

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.
