Fair Game
Director: Mario Andreacchio
Actors: Cassandra Delaney, Peter Ford, David Sandford
PlotIn the arid expanses of the Australian outback, a determined young woman named Jessica runs a wildlife sanctuary alone after inheriting it from her late father. Her tranquil existence and dedication to wildlife conservation are shaken when three ruthless kangaroo hunters intrude upon her land. The men view the reserve as a prime hunting ground—a belief rooted in disdain for her efforts and a strong sense of entitlement. Ignoring her protests and visibly mocking her mission, they begin tormenting her and disregarding her warnings. Their harassment quickly escalates from verbal threats and minor destructions of property to more malicious acts, testing Jessica's resolve and determination to protect her home and its inhabitants.
As tensions rise, a battle of wills unfolds between Jessica and the relentless intruders. Confronted by overwhelming fear and isolation but driven by a fierce loyalty to the wildlife she loves, she must rely on her wit and courage to combat the hunters' increasingly aggressive tactics. Throughout this grim cat-and-mouse game, she uses her intimate knowledge of the terrain and the support of other animals in an attempt to outmaneuver the hunters. Caught in this dangerous standoff, Jessica faces not only a physical struggle for survival but also a moral one, questioning the lengths she must go to defend her sanctuary against the human predators intent on taking whatever they please. As the sun beats down on the dusty plains, human tenacity clashes with unchecked brutality, leaving a lingering question about the price of vigilance in the heart of Australia’s unforgiving landscape.
