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.
 
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 relatively unknown globally.
 
For some in Australia the culling of its’ national symbol for meat and leather is an outrage. For others, it is a way of life that makes living economically viable in poverty-stricken, deeply rural communities of the outback.
