Reconciliation Week - In My Blood It Runs film screening

This Reconciliation Week, join us for a free film screening of In My Blood It Runs, a powerful feature documentary following ten-year-old Dujuan, an Arrernte and Garawa boy.

Dujuan is a healer and hunter who speaks three languages. He shares his view of history and the complex world around him, showing spark and intelligence, yet is "failing" in school. Dujuan's family fight to give him a strong Arrernte education alongside his western education and we walk with him as he realises that not only has he inherited the trauma and dispossession of his land, but also the resilience and resistance of many generations of his people.

Following the film, Dujuan, became the youngest ever to address the UN Human Rights Council, where he called for raising Australia's minimum age of criminal responsibility to 14, aligning with the UN Declaration of Indigenous Rights, and for First Nations languages to be taught in schools
