Synopsis

APEKATHE means fair skin in the Arrente language. Being Aboriginal with white skin is an issue for many Aboriginals. It's time for Australia to accept Aboriginals as people with fair and dark skin and also for fair skinned Aboriginals to accept their identity. (National Indigenous Documentary Series)
