Chasing Roo

Legally sanctioned harvesting of kangaroos in Australia equates to the largest commercial killing of a land-based animal in the world each year. Despite this, the practice is virtually unknown globally.

CHASING ROO is a verite-driven, 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 harvested.
