Diagonaldi Very well executed
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
kiwilys A disturbing, thought provoking documentary that makes one re-examine perceptions and assumptions regarding Australia's lack of protection for this unique, indigenous animal and also to question why Kangaroo meat is still on supermarket shelves with such dangerously high levels of salmonella and e coli present. I am not surprised that this film has stirred mixed emotions for many in such a short time. A very difficult watch but an absolute must-see.
bentjap I grew up in the bush so was interested to see this movie. After the first 10 minutes I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Some of the "facts" were so far from the truth that I was stunned. The makers of this film must not have done any research before filming began or were more concerned with shocking the uneducated public. There was no mention of the fact that the Kangaroo population is now over 45 million. Yes some sub species are endangered due to introduced pests like cats & dogs. The industry is highly regulated with huge fines for breaches. I just wish the general public knew the REAL story. Not what was portrayed in this film.
mdervin-75596 Australians all must face the ugly truth of the kangaroo industry, its truly disturbing. I didn't want to watch it but I am glad I did. We all need to be informed. It's also beautifully shot with a great score and very interesting interviews. Highly recommended.
