Nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Lion is the true story of a five-year-old boy who gets lost on a train that takes him thousands of kilometers across India, away from his home. Once lost, he must learn to adapt and survive alone in the streets, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty-five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a new revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home.
"Lion is a beautifully told, uplifting story of courage and determination." ~ Chicago Sun Times
