Millennials and Gen Z in Popular Culture examines media and popular
culture forms for and about millennials and Generation Z. In this
collection, contributors articulate the need for studying cultural
artifacts connected to members of these generations. Rather than
focusing on each generation specifically, this collection takes an
intergenerational approach, placing them in dialogue with one
another by focusing on media and experiences that are geared toward
both of them. Scholars of media studies, popular culture, and
sociology will find this book of particular interest.
Brolga (aka Chris Barns) is the 6ft 7in strong but sensitive Aussie
star of the extraordinary BBC series Kangaroo Dundee. Brolga lives
in a simple tin shed in the outback where he raises orphaned baby
kangaroos. It is a sad fact of life that kangaroo mothers are at
the mercy of speeding cars in this part of the world - killed on
the road, their young still tucked up in their pouches. These young
joeys holding on to life, have been given a second chance thanks to
the kindness and dedication of Brolga, who carefully retrieves them
and nurses them back to health. Brolga has been rescuing these
special creatures for years, slowly and painstakingly creating a
kangaroo sanctuary for the many kangaroos he has saved, reared and
loved. He has dedicated his life to observing how kangaroo mums
care for their babies and does everything he can to replicate this.
The baby kangaroos, traumatised by losing their mother so early,
are tucked up into pillow cases and kept warm and comforted next to
Brolga at night. We see him getting up at 4am to bottle feed them,
washing them in a little tub, taking them to the supermarket and
generally mothering them with heart breaking tenderness. Charting
Brolga's life with the joeys and honing in on his relationship with
one or two in particular, Kangaroo Dundee tells the heart-warming,
sometimes funny, sometimes poignant story of one man's unique
relationship with a group of extraordinary animals.
