1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: There is a gorgeous Australian film opening in cinema September eighteen.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: It's called Kangaroo. You're gonna love it. Ryan core is

00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 3: perfect school holiday movie for the family.

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: Isn't it. And I love the idea that you know,

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: the school holidays films that I grew up watching and

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: going to my family, going with my family rather to

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: the cinema with than you know, having experience together. I

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: hope that this is sort of you know, I hope

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: this is is that for the new generations. I certain,

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: you know, films land on you a different way. It's

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: not just about entertainment. They teach you about, you know,

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: courage and bravery and kingship. And I hope that you know,

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: this is a good one for Australian voices, for Australian

18
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: animals and for people to see there.

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 4: And backyard and it is. It's what it says on

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: the box.

21
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: It's about kangaroos, but it is inspired by the story

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: of Chris Barne who started kangar Thrue Sanctuary.

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: Is this right? How did What exactly is it about?

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a big question. I think at its heart

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: it's about animal welfare, and it's about finding connection in

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: the most unusual places and finding your people. It's full

27
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: of heart. It's about people healing, connecting and discovering meaning

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: in unlikey places. And of course our Chris Brolga Jones,

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: who we've taken flight libities with his story. Yeah, he

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: started originally as a zoo keeper, I think in films

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: like Crocodile Dundee, so it was quite appropriate. And in

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and five he rescued a baby Joey I think,

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: in a washing basket and they had ninety acres and

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: he founded the Kangaroos Sentry by two thousand and nine

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: home dozens of kangaroos.

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: And it's also kind of looking at the trailer too,

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: it's very much about learning something, learning about people, learning

38
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: about wildlife in an extraordinary circumstance where you probably would

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: never have found yourself in that circumstance, and then you

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: walk away. Way was like a whole new look on

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: the world.

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it is about online the art who's

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: in unexpected places. I think when we first meet our

44
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: version of Chris, he's rather caught up in the social

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: media game in his sort of own career advancement, and

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: I think the world telling him to slow down, and

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: one of his dear friends, who is also producer, spends

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: about to the MP and that's when we all start.

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: And I think Charlie played by the wonderful Billy Whiteley.

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: If you haven't heard of her, keep your ears open,

51
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: because she's an absolute sooner.

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: She looks amazing.

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: She's going for you know, looking for us in her

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: own world, and it's I think it's both their friendship

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: and the connection they develop raising these and rehabilitating these,

56
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: maybe the orphans that helps them.

57
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: Does there's a lot of familiar face. I mean, Lily

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: obviously a newcomer, but there's some familiar faces yourself of course,

59
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: Deborah Mailman. There is Ernie Dingo.

60
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: And what I've saying, and Roy Billing one of my

61
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: favorite character actors of all time.

62
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: And he plays he plays you know, that's hole in

63
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: the corner in this in the puff in the corner

64
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: that will constantly, you know, throw a little bit of

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: philosophy at you right at the moment.

66
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it must have been a great shoot with

67
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: you know, a cast like this, You must have had

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: a good few months or however long it took to film.

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: I've got to pinch myself sometimes in this industry, the

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: experiences that have affords me and be fighting myself out

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: in Alice Springs. I've spent some time in Darln before,

72
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: but never never as much our springs. And with the

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 2: clue and cast you're doing it with. You're all staying

74
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: in close quarters and getting up in the incredible heat

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: during the day and watching the sunrises. You know, it's raw.

76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: It's the most amazing place. And I hope that the

77
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: energy and the soul that you can sort of feel

78
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: over there, I hope that comes across. I hope that translates.

79
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: One thing of course. Run. You know they say never

80
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: work with children or animals, what.

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,640

Speaker 2: and have two three weeks working with the Joey's before

87
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: starting to film, because it was important obviously the Brolga

88
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: and Harney, but also just for the technicality aspects of

89
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: the film that we bonded and learned about the creatures

90
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: will be looking after. So we were bottle feeding them,

91
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: swaddling them. Wouldn't go to the court, you know, And

92
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: they called it work.

93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: They've come a long way from the filming of Skiffy

94
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: when there would be a poor on the end of

95
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: the sticks.
