NOMINATED FOR SIX OSCARS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE, SUPPORTING ACTOR AND SUPPORTING ACTRESS . . .
Aged just five, Saroo Brierley lost all contact with his family in India, after waiting at a train station for his brother who never returned.
Discover the inspiring, true story behind the film, Lion. This is the heart breaking and original tale of the lost little boy who found his way home twenty-five years later.
-----------------------------------
As a five-year old in India, I got lost on a train. Twenty-five years later, I crossed the world to find my way back home.
Five-year-old Saroo lived in a poor village in India, in a one-room hut with his mother and three siblings... until the day he boarded a train alone and got lost. For twenty-five years.
This is the story of what happened to Saroo in those twenty-five years. How he ended up on the streets of Calcutta. And survived. How he then ended up in Tasmania, living the life of an upper-middle-class Aussie. And how, at thirty years old, with some dogged determination, a heap of good luck and the power of Google Earth, he found his way back home.
Lion is a triumphant true story of survival against all odds and a shining example of the extraordinary feats we can achieve when hope endures.

The extraordinary story of a boy who lost his mother, and twenty-five years later found her on Google.
Five-year-old Saroo's elder brothers worked as sweepers in local trains to help their struggling mother. One day, they took him with them, but exhausted little Saroo fell asleep on a train. When he awoke, he was in Calcutta, surrounded by a crowd of strangers. Saroo, poor and illiterate, neither knew his last name nor that of the town he came from. In a single night he had lost his entire family and joined Calcutta's countless children who had nowhere to call home.
Saroo's story tells of his childhood in Khandwa, in Madhya Pradesh, and his days as a street boy in Calcutta; of his miraculous adoption by an Australian couple and, twenty-five years after losing her, Saroo's search for his mother - via Google - and their ultimate reunion. Moving and inspiring, Lion: A Long Way Home, is an unforgettable story.
