Synopsis 简介

澳洲几乎所有顶级公司、运动队和旅游标识都会骄傲地用到袋鼠的“形象”。然而这些在澳洲广袤土地上跳跃穿行的野生动物却被很多人认为是害虫，从而被捕猎和售卖。本片前无古人地探索了一个内心分裂的澳洲与袋鼠之间又爱又恨的故事。

The ‘image’ of the kangaroo is proudly used by top companies, sports teams and tourist souvenirs, yet as they hop across the vast continent of Australia many consider them pests to be shot and sold for profit. This groundbreaking filmexamines the love-hate relationship at the very heart of a divided country.

Directors Statement导演的话

袋鼠是世界上最具有辨识度的标志物种之一，作为导演我们一直为之着迷。我们研究它可以直达澳洲复杂分裂状况的核心。

我们知道人们对这个著名的标志物种看法不一，这里头必定很多故事可讲。但是当我们真正去做调研的时候才吃惊地发现原来每年竟然有成百上千万只袋鼠被当作害虫杀掉并且被用来卖钱。我们实在想不通为什么澳洲人一方面无比骄傲地把袋鼠当作自己深爱的国家的象征，另一方面却允许对这些生命进行夜间杀戮。

对袋鼠的杀戮是世界上规模最大的野生动物杀戮行为，我们的故事就是去调查其中的细节。一个在澳洲平安无事生活了百万年的动物怎么突然就成了一个问题而不得不大规模杀掉呢？是什么想法在支撑这些行为？

我们在澳洲旅行了成千上万公里和许多澳洲人进行交谈。我们把一个不安的故事呈现给世界。观众可以在影片里随着我们的镜头看到问题不同的角度，并且最终能够得出自己的判断。

Kangaroos are one of the most recognizable icons in the world and have always held a fascination for the directors of this film. We set out to explore this animal that we recognized was the heart of a complex and divided situation in Australia.

We knew opinion was split around this famous icon and that would make an interesting story but once we started the research were surprised to learn that millions of kangaroos are shot each year as so-called pests and sold for profit. It seemed incongruous to us that Australians’ who are immensely proud to hold up the kangaroo as their beloved national symbol, would sanction their nightly killing.

Key to the telling this story was investigating the details behind the largest wildlife slaughter in the world. Where had the ideology come from that a native animal that has lived in Australia for millions of years could be a national problem?

We have travelled thousands of kilometers across the magnificent Australian outback speaking with many Australians. We have weaved together an unsettling story for the world to see. Hearing from so many angles gives the audience the opportunity to come on the journey with us and make up their own minds.
