JULY 19 LION – 2016 Australian Biographical Film
In 1986, five-year-old Saroo lives with his elder brother, Guddu; his baby sister, Shekila; and his mother in Khandwa, India. Guddu and Saroo steal coal from freight trains to trade for milk and food. Saroo cannot find his brother and falls asleep in an empty train car. The train takes him to Calcutta where, obviously, he cannot find his way back home. Adverse adventures follow, ending in an adoption by an Australian couple. After maturity, Saroo returns to India to search for his family.
