Umbrella Entertainment has been a 100% Australian-owned and operated distributor for over 20 years. Their vast home entertainment catalogue features an extensive range of Australian classic, cult and exploitation films restored under the eyes of the original filmmakers. All sourced from national archives, underground collectors and local basements.

Based on the real-life tale when Australia declared war on the native emu, THE EMU WAR is a hilarious farce for fans of Sharknado and Snakes on a Plane. A platoon of soldiers is sent deep into enemy territory in order to kill the emus Leader the Queen Emu. The platoon is led by Major Meredith who has a deep hatred of the emu’s after they kidnapped his son. When the platoon is eventually taken captive by the enemy, Meredith learns the truth about his son and the line is blurred between good, evil, human and emu. In this war no one is who they seem. Starring comedy icons Damian Callinan (Backyard Ashes, The Merger) and Luke McGregor (Rosehaven, Utopia), THE EMU WAR is an absurd take on the unbelievable true story of Australia’s war with the native emu (and how the humans were defeated).
