India And Australia Begin A New Relationship

The history of Indian and Australian conflicts is much wider than one can think of, be it politically or socially. The two countries have had several disputes over the years due to issues related to racism. A lot of it came into limelight in the year 2009 when Indian students studying in Australia claimed allegations of discrimination towards them due to their place of origin being India.

However, a lot has changed over the years. The credit can be given to all the sectors of both the economies that helped in clearing these differences and brought the nations to a better position than ever before. One such sector is the entertainment industry. The two nations have removed their differences to a great extent through the medium of movies and documentaries that featured the state of the relationship amongst Australia and India.

“My Cornerstone” and "Love you Krishna" are two such movies that are written, produced and directed by an Indian born Sydney-based producer cum director, Stanley Joseph. Stanley was born and brought up in India who appeared as a rock musician at the beginning of his career. Later he went on to film making, and two of his recent films are “My Cornerstone” and "Love you Krishna" that were shot at the same time within a period of 37 days. These movies are yet to be released in Australia.

“My Cornerstone” is a much awaited movie in the Australian box office. Based on the plot that describes infringes between India and Australia, the film features an Indian nurse who serves in a wealthy Indian-Australian household (the Pintos). The story is about the journey of the girl, Zenia Star (actress), who takes a toll on the discrimination she bears at the residence of Pintos.

The director’s take on the concept was very clear, that is, to bring forth the conflicts that prevailed amongst the two countries for a long time. And it is anticipated that the movie will prove to be of great impact on the minds of the people, no matter which country they belong to.

Hopefully, the problems that are dividing the nations on the roots of race are washed away in a manner that nobody pays the price. Entertainment media is one such extensively powerful tool that can help eradicate these problems as long as directors like Stanley Joseph focus on these issues.
