'In My Own Skin tells the story of Aboriginal woman Elliana Lawford’s moving tale about shedding her cultural shame. In inky blue animation, we travel with Elliana through her childhood on Awabakal land, across tumultuous schoolyard politics and upward to Darwin, where Eliana is confronted by the very thing she’s been trying to outrun.'

'The majority of Australians grew up with a very one-sided history of our nation. From white settlement to today, that account has mostly been viewed from a single perspective. Occupation Native sets out to change that. Using a range of approaches – some serious, some humorous – filmmaker Trisha Morton-Thomas adjusts the narrative to include the experience and history of Australia’s Indigenous community. There’s always more than one way to look at a story, and this documentary presents – without judgement – a perspective that’s been disregarded for too long.' (Production summary)
