Five-year-old Saroo (Sunny Pawar) gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of Kilometres across India, away from home and family. Saroo must learn to survive alone in Kolkata, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple (Nicole Kidman and David Wenham). Twenty five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, Saroo (played as a young man by Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel) sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home. Adapted from the incredible true story, A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley and directed by first-time Australian feature filmmaker, Garth Davis, Lion is a remarkable story of human courage that will stay with you forever.
