Raising Joey

About This Movie

Raising Joey offers a deeply moving glimpse into the aftermath of the Australian wildfires. Through Alex Cearns' lens, we’re taken on an intimate journey into the lives of rescued joeys and their human advocates. The pacing feels almost meditative, interspersing moments of heartwarming connection with the stark reality of loss. The film doesn't shy away from the emotional weight of its subject matter, yet it balances this with the quirky and sometimes humorous aspects of kangaroo care. Practical effects? Well, it's all real—no CGI here, just the raw beauty of these animals. It's not just a documentary about wildlife rescue; it paints a broader picture of compassion and resilience in the face of disaster.
