Description

First it used to be a media sensation. Then it became the number one international bestseller A Long Way Home. Now it’s Lion, the major motion picture starring Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, and Rooney Mara—nominated for six Academy Awards!

This is the miraculous and triumphant story of Saroo Brierley, a young man who used Google Earth to rediscover his childhood life and home in a fantastic journey from India to Australia and back again…

At only five years old, Saroo Brierley got lost on a train in India. Unable to read or write or recall the name of his hometown or even his own last name, he survived alone for weeks on the rough streets of Calcutta before in the long run being transferred to an agency and adopted by a couple in Australia.

Despite his gratitude, Brierley all the time wondered about his origins. Eventually, with the advent of Google Earth, he had the opportunity to look for the needle in a haystack he once known as home, and pore over satellite images for landmarks he might recognize or mathematical equations that might further narrow down the labyrinthine map of India. Someday, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he used to be on the lookout for and set off to find his circle of relatives.

Lion 
is a moving, poignant, and inspirational true story of survival and triumph against implausible odds. It celebrates the importance of never letting go of what drives the human spirit: hope.
