Koalas: The Secret Saviours

Koalas: The Secret Saviours examines and explores the trauma that wildlife rescuers face every week – from the lows of discovering hit-and-run victims to the highs of releasing rehabilitated koalas back into the wild. Few volunteers can stomach the tough work that it takes to save local koalas, as the mental fortitude of each volunteer is challenged throughout the demanding breeding season, pushing them harder than ever before. Throughout the documentary, Jason Cobb, a seasoned wildlife rescuer, will be interviewed – gaining insight into the true emotional and psychological impacts experienced within their field and to understand what drives them to sacrifice their mental well-being for the lives of koalas. Despite the work becoming more traumatic, Jason remains motivated by the knowledge that he is making a difference by helping to stop the pain these vulnerable koalas are in. Koalas: The Secret Saviours will simultaneously explore the true gravity of the dangers that local koalas face every day in hopes of inspiring change.
