An Australian film, starring Shane Jacobson, Sarah Snook, Alan Tudyk and Coco Jack Gillies. A film set in regional Victoria, it is a fun look at a how a groundbreaking ecological practice started, albiet with some dramatisations. It tells the story of how a particuarly odd Maremma Sheepdog came to be guardian of a penguin sanctuary which had been plagued by wolves who had figured out how to swim across to the island.
Shane Jacobson is great in the role of the chicken farmer who figures out that his dog can guard penguin's, as is Coco Jack Gillies as his granddaughter, as they overcome various obstacles (including various locals who wish to use the penguin's island for other purposes) to achieve their goal. Sarah Snook and Alan Tudyk are also great as the chicken farmer's daughter (and the penguin sanctuary's keeper) and her boyfriend. A great movie about how adversity can be overcome, but with some comedy. 8.5/10.
