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.

Hi..

I'll just like to get

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?

It's incapable of action

let alone strong action

Oh...

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?

The State Opposition leader

Hey!.. You made it

I didn’t catch

your name last time?

Ohh, sorry!

Umm.. my name is

Giriraj Vanakar

ohh..

or, Giri..

Giri,

right!..

So..

umm..

how can I help?

Would you like a drink?

umm..

Sure..

could I have a coffee with..

umm.. milk?

and..

and 2 sugars please

so coffee with milk and two sugars

and just my regular skinny latte,

thanks..

So..

you’re studying

a PhD

in Microbiology,

yes?..

Why Melbourne?

Umm..

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.

Guys

we are closing in five minutes...

ohh.. thats

that's fine

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?

Sort out the sheep

from the goats?

umm..

Look,

I’ll..

I’ll definitely try but

I do have other things to do.

umm..

I really do appreciate it,

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.

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?
