Lion

[hatcheckgirl]

Here’s a movie I can heartedly recommend - Lion. It’s a true story of a little boy from an impoverished village who finds himself lost when he accidentally boards a long distance train. He ekes out an existence in the crowds of Calcutta, escaping many horrible situations, loneliness and hunger. Eventually he is brought to an orphanage, and adopted out to a family in Tasmania. They raise him up, but when he attends university he starts to have flashbacks of his infancy in India, and the pull to find his family back home consumes him. It’s quite amazing his perseverance using google earth, and the climax is raw emotionally.

 

And there is a reason why the movie is called Lion, not apparent until the end. Thumbs up 👍
