One Voice organizes in early June the French premiere of the award-winning documentary film: Kangaroo a love-hate story
The One Voice association is
organizing the French premiere of the multi-award-winning documentary
film “KANGAROO A Love-Hate Story” on June 5th
2018 at 8 pm at the cinema “Les Cinq Caumartin” in Paris.
The screening, in the presence of the directors, will be followed by
a discussion with them. The next day, a second screening, in the same
format, is organized in Strasbourg, at the cinema “Star”.
The
documentary by Kate McIntyre Clere and Mick McIntyre, KANGAROO, is an
unprecedented film, revealing the truth of Australia’s ambivalent
relationship of love and hatred towards her beloved icon. The image
of the kangaroo is proudly displayed and used by major Australian
companies, sports teams, and as a souvenir gift for tourists. Yet, as
they cross the vast continent with great leaps, they are considered
as pests and only fit for slaughter then sold to the highest bidder.
Europe
is the largest importer of kangaroo meat and skin in the world. The
documentary presents evidence on the consequences of the purchase by
Europeans of products from kangaroos, considered in this case as a
resource, which is also serious.
To
alert the French public about this dramatic slaughter suffered by the
kangaroo population on the Australian mainland, One Voice is
organizing two screenings of the award-winning documentary, in the
presence of the two directors, followed by a debate on the questions
they have raised.
The
French première will take place on June 5th
at the cinema “Les Cinq Caumartin” in Paris. The second
evening will take place in Strasbourg, at the cinema “Star”
on June 6th.
The film will be broadcast at 8.00pm, in the Original Version and
subtitled in French (VOSTFR).
Useful information:
The
director and director, Kate McIntyre Clere and Mick McIntyre, will be
available for interviews on June 5 in Paris by appointment, and the

Peter Singer, author of the acclaimed book Animal Liberation, who
speaks in the film, has also agreed to make himself available for
interviews in France.
