This telemovie tells the story of Eddie 'Koiki' Mabo, the Torres Strait Islander, who left school at 15, yet spearheaded the High Court challenge that overthrew the fiction of terra nullius. It traces Koiki's life, through his early exile from his beloved Murray Island, his years of working on the trochus trawlers and the outback railways, to his decision to embrace activism in order to change rights and freedoms for Indigenous Australians. It also tells of his struggles to begin a school specifically for Aboriginal and Islander children.

BtN explains the #raisetheage campaign

August 4, 2020 | ABC Me

BtN explains why many people are campaigning for the age that children can be put in youth detention to be raised from 10 to 14. Star of the documentary In My Blood it Runs, Dujuan, went all the way to Geneva to state his case. More than half of the young people in youth detention are indigenous and many believe this form of punishment creates more harm than good. The Government has stated they will not raise the age until an alternative system is in place for those young people who need it.
