In My Blood It Runs

“Collaborative, open-hearted documentary of a young Arrernte boy is Gayboy Baby director, Maya Newell's best work yet.” - The Guardian

In My Blood It Runs follows the life of 10-year-old Arrernte/Garrwa boy Dujuan and his family. The film charts the challenges Dujuan faces as he meets the overt and concealed prejudices still perpetuated against Aboriginal people/First Australians in Australia today: in school, at home and one the streets of Alice Springs. In My Blood It Runs reveals the ways marginalised First Nations communities negotiate the colonial culture and keep their identities and cultures alive through self-determination, the revitalisation of languages and cultural practices.
