An emotional tear-jerker, Yindi the Last Koala, follows the life of a most extraordinary koala from birth and loss of mother to the reuniting of parent and child and release in the wild. On a straight-forward viewing level, this program is filled with superb shots of koalas in all their moods, cute and cuddly through to aggressive fighters. On a deeper level, the film traces the national plight of the koala, an Australian icon that is facing a very real threat to its future survival.
