When an Australian couple go camping for the weekend at a remote beach, they discover that nature isn't in an accommodating mood.
Attempting to resurrect their failing marriage, Peter (John Hargreaves) and Marcia (Briony Behets) set out on a camping trip to a deserted stretch of the Australian coastline in the hope that a long weekend in the sunshine will help them patch up their differences. They trample through the countryside, destroying everything in their tracks, carelessly scattering their rubbish and shooting anything that moves.
The repercussions of their callous disregard for the environment soon become apparent when the animals start to seek vengeance. Long Weekend is available for free streaming with your library card and a free Kanopy account.
