In My Blood It Runs
The film is a compassionate, complex and insightful observational documentary about Dujuan, an extraordinary 10-year-old Arrernte/Garrwa boy from central Australia, from filmmaker Maya Newell, who previously made the ground-breaking document Gayby Baby.

In My Blood It Runs premiered at HotDocs in Canada and was selected for the Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals before also screening at the United Nations last year where Dujuan became the youngest person ever to address the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Dujuan is a child-healer, a good hunter and speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him, we see his spark and intelligence. Yet Dujuan is ‘failing’ in school and facing increasing scrutiny from welfare and the police. As he travels perilously close to incarceration, his family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education lest he becomes another statistic. We walk with him as he grapples with these pressures, shares his truths and somewhere in-between finds space to dream, imagine and hope for his future self.

NOTE: RRP listed is for a double pass. These are passes that will be posted to you.
