In My Blood It Runs – Perth Festival

"A wholly original and impactful look at growing up Indigenous in Australia today." - The Gate

Dujuan is an inquisitive ten-year-old Arrernte/Garrwa boy who speaks three languages, understands his Aboriginal culture, loves his country in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and the natural world. As he struggles at a mainstream school not equipped to appreciate Indigenous knowledge and faces increasing scrutiny from welfare and police, his family battle to keep him safe, grounded in language, culture and identity. Thoughtful, passionate and deeply illuminating, Maya Newell’s essential new documentary is a must for all who care about Australia’s shared future.
