About Lion
Lion is a powerful biographical drama film based on the true story of Saroo Brierley, adapted from his memoir A Long Way Home. Directed by Garth Davis, the film stars Dev Patel as adult Saroo, Nicole Kidman as his adoptive mother Sue Brierley, and Rooney Mara as Lucy.
The story begins in rural India, where five-year-old Saroo (played by Sunny Pawar) becomes separated from his family after accidentally boarding a train that takes him thousands of kilometres from home. Lost and unable to communicate his village’s name, he survives alone on the streets of Kolkata before being placed in an orphanage. Eventually, he is adopted by an Australian couple, Sue and John Brierley (Nicole Kidman and David Wenham), and grows up in Tasmania.
As an adult, Saroo leads a comfortable life but remains haunted by memories of his birth family. Using the newly available technology of Google Earth, he embarks on a painstaking search to trace his origins, relying on fragmented childhood memories and satellite images to locate the place he once called home. His emotional journey culminates in a deeply moving reunion with his biological mother in India, decades after being lost.
Lion is a story of identity, loss, love, and belonging - highlighting the strength of both the families we are born into and the ones we choose. Nicole Kidman’s performance as Sue Brierley, a mother whose compassion transcends borders, was widely praised, earning her an Academy Award nomination.
