      No T The message is good and the family interactions are nice, but the inability to focus the camera and the strange shots make it hard to enjoy. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Aussie S Having worked with Aboriginal children and knowing as white Australian, there cannot be reconciliation unless we get a equalization of ALL citizens. Respect past events with recognition and elect a better future. Every generation needs support, education and healthcare. Tax payers and business must contribute or the economy and culture will be lost. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 27, 2020 Full Review Teo Bugbee New York Times Colonialism is a war that began hundreds of years ago and never ended. Its modern tactics and its weapons are noted with precision in the ferocious documentary, "In My Blood It Runs." Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian In My Blood It Runs is Newell's best film yet. It feels like a turning point: the director's aesthetic choices reflecting the contents of her subject's character in different and exciting ways. Rated: 4/5 Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) Despite its commitment and sincerity, this gentle observational documentary about an Indigenous boy makes its points but doesn't address some weighty questions that remain Rated: 3/5 Sep 13, 2021 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound It is documentaries like this which attempts to open our eyes. Oct 5, 2020 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience I feel like I can easily say it's one of the best documentaries this country has produced in recent years. A work of emphatic poignancy...
