‘Lion’
Lion takes us on a gorgeous emotional journey from the heart of India to the slums of Kolkata to the suburbs of Tasmania and the urban sprawl of Australia and back again. The film follows little Saroo, a young Indian boy, as a twist of fate separates him from his impoverished family. The second half of the film follows the adult Saroo (Oscar nominee Dev Patel) as he reckons with the ghosts of his past and hunts down his birth family. Lion is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring.
