The Colour of Darkness (2016) - full transcript
All the colour, depth and mystery of India's complex and riotous cultural heritage is brought to light in a single action which changes two countries forever. A proud Indian international student is attacked in a brightly lit train carriage against a backdrop of darkness. Unknown to his attackers his high caste status has little relevance, and in one poignant moment, he is rescued by his counterpart, an 'untouchable', a low caste. They are united by what would otherwise be impossible. The highly publicised event sends shock waves through the international community. As the climate escalates, Maria Kris a young Australian journalist of Indian descent is sent to investigate, and what happens from there uncovers long established and inherent prejudices between the two countries and what lies between .... In her quest for truth, she meets a young Indian student Giriraj, who changes her life forever through an unlikely meeting. Throughout their ensuing friendship, Maria is taken by Giriraj for a journey through the darkness of India's social history and via the laneways of her own city, exposing a side she had never imagined.

Mr. Sharma...
Hi..

I am here representing
the Truth Newspaper
I'll just like to get
your opinion on
the recent attack?
Mr. Sharma
can you tell me please...
explain to me?...
Attack after attack
one after the other
it feels like
its a direct attack
on my people
because of our race..
Isn't it?...
Am I wrong?...
Are you saying...
Australia is...
is Raciist Sir?...
Well...
Do I really need to
say it out loud?...
for you to open your eyes
and see
whats been happening
for the last
four.. five.. months?
and not a single action
has been taken by the
COPs or the government?
Students are the cash cows
in this economy...
So Mr. Sharma...
I take that as a yes...
you feel this country
is racist?...
Yes...
I... I do
and its racist because
the Australian society
doesn't like
Indian students comming here...
working hard..
earning money
getting jobs...
and you know whats funny?..
they see we are stealing
their jobs...
can someone explain me how?
So in your opinion..
should the government
take strong action?
ha....
It's incapable of action
let alone strong action

and that's my number..
I’ve put the word out,
TV and print guys...
want to eat it up!
this is our chance...
Hi... thanks for your time
Mr. Sharma...
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!..
The Australian media
finally has time for us now!
We always have time for you, Mr. Sharma.
Oh.. really, Is that right?
These attacks are not
an accurate representation of..
About that..
The cops, government and the media
prefer to be blind on this one
And every other day
we receive calls about some
attacks against Indians...
And what happened to
our dear friend Jaydeep,
is not the first Indian attack
tomorrow it could be him
or myself..
and people like her..
still won’t call it racism
Ahh..
That’s a very strong statement,
Mr. Sharma..
These could just as easily be
regrettable coincidences
Are you crazy?
Excuse me?..
It feels like you’re one of them.
Is she even Indian?
Ahh..?
You’re blind to these facts Maria..
What’s wrong with being hardworking?
They say we’re taking their jobs,
but actually,
we are the ones working for them!..
The invisible "They"
It’s just another form of
exploitation.
What do you mean by that?
Well..
students are drawn here
in the name of education.
It’s an open secret,
these Indian students have
big loans to pay off,
very easy motive to
skin us for more work and
pay us little or nothing
Exactly..
Now you’re talking..
Mr Sharma, I’m here to report
on this side of the story
Oohh..
look Maria,
the authorities
have to take responsibility
and immediate action
Well, I agree!..
I completely agree
but..
hang on.. hang on.
but I do have a couple of more
questions?..
ooh..!
Aah...
I’m sorry Maria,
but we’ll have to wrap
it up here.
There’s more important people
waiting outside..
Vijay will let you know when
you can come in next!..
That’s no problem, Mr Sharma
Thanks for your time though
thankyou
thanks for your time..
good to see you
That was good..
Vijay,
this is our chance.
We have a mouthpiece now
Right!
Who we meeting now?
I don’t have anything listed?
We don’t tell everything to
journalists, Vijay...
This time I’ve got the
proper mover and shaker..
And who would that be?

Ohh, sorry!
Umm.. my name is

right!..
So..
umm..
how can I help?
Would you like a drink?
umm..

could I have a coffee with..

and just my regular skinny latte,
thanks..
So..
you’re studying
a PhD

yes?..
Why Melbourne?

After I finished my
Masters in India,
I was..
really lucky to get a
scholarship here
A scholarship?
Congratulations!..
You must have extremely
proud parents, right?
What do they do?
They were both teachers..
they’re retired now.
The reason I,
wanted to meet with you today
is because I’m doing research
on the recent violence against
Indian students for "The Truth’,
my newspaper..
Ohh yeah..
you, mentioned that..
That’s right,
Can I ask?
have you experienced
any discrimination so far?
Discrimination?
Umm..
All my life
My name is Kanti...
Kanti Mangal Vanakar
Vanakar means weaver,
my caste is...
one of the deprived caste
of Indian society.
yes...
I am...
an untouchable.
In the Indian caste system,
it is important to remember
your caste.
So,
the society can fit you.
This practice
exists from ancient time
to the modern
Indian society.
I am from Tundel,
a small village
of Gujurat state.
Me and my wife...
are the only two people
from 'Tundel',
who made it through education
and got a government job
as a teacher.
Im my village,
Tundel...
when a marriage
or religious ceremony
takes place...
we,
the low caste
are only good
for slavery.
If we do not follow
the structure of the society,
then we are punished.
In the year 1965,
it was my father
and a few brave soul
who encouraged me
to stand my ground
to say...
enough!
There was no turning back
with struggle
from then on.

we are closing in five minutes...
ohh.. thats

We should probably actually
get going anyway.
thanks..
Listen,
I can’t believe half of
what you’re telling me.
You must be exaggerating,
surely?..
We have to meet again tomorrow
and get the rest of this story
I’m just telling you
how it is..
I can see I might even
need to go to India
Go to India?
For what?
Well..
I wanna get a complete picture
of the story
Aah...
Look..
I think you should just
stay here and
save your money.
that’s just my opinion!
Your opinion is it?
Well I’m looking
for the truth.. so,
No offence but
people in India don't even
admit their crimes to each other
let alone an..
outsider.
It,
it might take you a lifetime
or at least twenty years
to get even..
close to the truth
Okay..
perhaps I could maybe just
file some stories from India.
I mean there’s certainly enough
IT support crew on hand there
to keep me online...
ha ha.. ha
It's funny
you could use that
sense of humor
when you’re in India
Well listen..
since we’re getting on so well,
How much is it?
It's okay
why don’t
we meet tomorrow?

Are you okay to chat?
It is important
to try and understand...
why?
Why..
why me?
That’s not one I can answer
just yet,
I’m sorry.
It’s more than obvious
Jaydeep,
the majority of Australians
find this violence
very disturbing.
I’m inclined to think that
these attacks aren’t
racially motivated
How do you know?
Have you ever been in a
racist or violent situation?
No..
I haven’t
Can you tell me
a bit about
what happened?
It could help
cast some light on
other recent incidents, as well.
Listen, we can..
talk another time
It’s okay
let.. let me get a nurse
but I can’t
tell you much.
That’s okay..
we’ll take it slowly,
yeah?.
believe me when I say
most of us are
appalled.
So,
how does that help?
Well..
despite the headlines,
the political point scoring,
the finger pointing...
justice will be served.
Your attackers
will be punished.
So,
why did you come to Australia?

Maria?
Dad,
Where are you?
Dad, if your calling to
give me more of
your rubbish talk
then please don’t bother
okay?
I’m sorry Maria,
From the bottom of my heart.
Giriraj is a nice boy
i’m sure.
I have let go
of my Indian ways
long ago Maria.
Will you please,
forgive me?
Maria?
Are you there?
Dad,
What?
I love you baba
Darling,
please don’t cry.
It’s all my fault.
Please bring him back home.
I owe him an apology.
Oh Dad,
thank you.
Are you still mad at me?
Come on.. Dad,
I can’t be mad at you
for too long.
That’s my girl!
ha.. ha.
I.. umm..
I,
I gotta go papa
I’m
actually cooking dinner
for Giri tonight.
Good luck
with that!
And make sure you
don’t burn his mouth
with too much chilli.

I Love you

ohh..
That’s not quite true madam,
But I must admit
it was..
quite a dangerous experiment.
Look,
what’s happened to us?
ha, ha..
You haven’t seen
anything yet!..
You mean it gets worse?
Well, what’s an
experiment without a
satisfactory outcome
right?
hmm..
Couldn’t agree more!
So, I’m..
I’m not too sure
about India anymore.
Because of what I said?
Yeah,
a bit.
But ahh..
I’ve been thinking
about what you told me,
and...
I want to write
about your story.
oh..
That’s just my opinion.
I know how
the Indian system works.
just,
just like you know
how the Australian
system works
oh..
maybe we could shed some
light on your history?
help them understand
anyway..
how’s your family?
