IN MY BLOOD IT RUNS is an Australian documentary about a 10-year-old Aboriginal boy growing up in Alice Springs.

language
There is use of the middle finger and two-finger gestures, as well as verbal use of very mild terms, such as 'butt'.
discrimination
There are references to the removal of Aboriginal children from their families by Australian governments and churches during the 20th century, including propaganda videos expressing racist sentiments. The work as a whole does not endorse such attitudes.
disturbing images
There are undetailed verbal references to the torture of incarcerated Indigenous youth. These are accompanied by brief visual references, including a boy tied to a chair with a bag covering his head, as well as sight of a boy being stripped naked and held down by three men.
dangerous behaviour
There are scenes in which a boy runs around at night with a canister of exploding fireworks in his hand. No one is harmed. There are also references to anti-social behaviour and a boy playing truant from school.
