How we can support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to have equal access to education and make classrooms safe and respectful places for all students?
In My Blood It Runs is an intimate and compassionate observational documentary from the perspective of a 10-year-old Aboriginal boy in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), Australia, who is faced with the challenge of balancing his identity as a First Nations child with state education.
Watching the film
We recommend that before you teach the lessons, you have accessed the free professional learning resource, which has been co-developed by Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali team, and watched the film with your class.
You can watch In My Blood it Runs currently on Netflix, Kanopy and Vimeo on Demand. If you would like to purchase a DVD copy, you can do so on the IMBIR website.
