Summary:
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara, this is the miraculous and triumphant story of a young man who rediscovers not only his childhood life and home but also an identity long-since left behind. 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 ultimately being transferred to an agency and adopted by a couple in Australia. Despite his gratitude,
Brierley
always wondered about his origins. Eventually, with the advent of Google Earth, he pored over satellite images for landmarks he might recognize. One day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for and set off to find his family. Lion is a moving, poignant, and inspirational true story of survival and triumph against incredible odds. It celebrates the importance of never letting go of what drives the human spirit: hope. His story is now the subject of the film Lion, starring Dev Patel as
Brierley
and Nicole Kidman as his adoptive mom, Sue.
