In My Blood It Runs

Ten-year-old Dujuan is a child-healer and a good hunter, who speaks three languages. As he shares his wisdom of history and the complex world around him, we sense 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’s 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.
