Film: "Lion"
Nominated for six Oscars, this amazing true story of a lost son reconnecting with his family stars Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara.
Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress
A tremendously moving performance from Dev Patel is the resilient soul of Lion, the incredible true story of Saroo Brierley and his tenacious quest to find the family from whom he was separated 25 years earlier. But the role is made even more affecting by its through line from the equally indelible work of Sunny Pawar, the remarkable young actor who plays him at age five in the film's wrenching opening chapter.
After a wrong train takes him thousands of miles away from home and family, Saroo survives many challenges before being adopted by an Australian couple (Nicole Kidman, Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actress). Twenty-five years later, armed with only the scantest of clues, he learns of a new technology called Google Earth, and with the support of his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) sets out to find his lost family.
