For NAIDOC Week, audiences will have the opportunity to see the Australian film Kangaroo at screenings in New Caledonia and Kiribati organised by the Australian Consulate General in Noumea and Australian High Commission in Kiribati.

Kangaroo is a heart-warming family comedy about ex-tv personality, Chris Masterson, who becomes stranded in an Outback town after a car accident on his way to Broome. There, he teams up with 11-year-old Indigenous girl Charlie. The pair form an unlikely friendship and work together to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned joeys in the remote but stunning Outback community. An endeavour that proves to be life-changing for them both.
