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).
