Documentary: Skin Deep

SKIN DEEP
Skin Deep dives into the experience of Donny Imberlong, a Jaru man living on the traditional lands of the Miriwoong Gajerrong people, while working on a Darwin crocodile farm in 2017. It explores his strong connection with the species, and the inner struggles that came from working in an industry that relies on killing an animal that he loves so deeply. Ultimately, the film shines a light on the current mindset behind conserving these apex predators and begs the question - can there be a better way?

Learn more about Australia’s crocodile farming industry
Australia accounts for 60% of the global trade of crocodile skins, two-thirds of which comes from the Northern Territory, the largest producer and dominant supplier of crocodile skins worldwide. Australia’s farming of crocodiles is so extensive that there are now more saltwater crocodiles living in factory farms than in their natural habitat.
