“One of the most graphic and illuminating films in recent memory”.

  • Bob Connolly (Black Harvest, First Contact)

“My fave is KAUGERE. From the start, the personalities were clear. Story quite gripping and obvious moral shock never too much. We got to CARE about the characters. When BULLDOGS  won, I cried. And the film economically revealed a whole world”.

  • Miriam Margoyles (Judge for Best Documentary at Byron Bay International Film Festival 2023)
