'Apekathe follows the story of two Aboriginal women and their families and how they identify with their Aboriginal heritage. Using Priscilla Collins' family as the vehicle, this documentary explores this identity crisis in a contemporary environment. Her family is made up of shades from black to white skin. There is no doubt within the family that they are Aboriginal, but there is doubt in society at large. Maureen McGregor is an Aboriginal from the Daly River region of the Northern Territory. Maureen does not have to contend with sceptical remarks about her identity as she possesses the characteristics and pigmentation of an Aboriginal person. Her children however are fair with red hair. As with Priscilla, these children will grow up to be ridiculed for proclaiming they are Aboriginal. Through this film we show the diversity which makes up the Aboriginal nation of Australia and why there are people with fair skin who call themselves Aboriginal.'
