Synopsis

“With this documentary I wanted to explore the complexities of living in Australia from the eyes of Indian students. I was surprised by what I learnt while researching and making this film. The two main subjects Kanishk and Sharn took me on a journey that has opened my eyes about what international students go through on a daily basis.” 
– Ana Tiwary, Director/Producer Sunshine & Shade
