A "true story" worth seeing

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2018)

LION is based on a true story. Through a touching journey the audience embarks upon an emotional rollercoaster. The film takes us into the life of a young indian boy losing his family and ones he's grown up trying to find them again even though they are miles apart. The film is filled with hope and loss.
The beginning of the film is filled with sadness and despair as a the young boy loses his older brother and is taken away on a train he cannot escape. He continues to search for him as he neglects the idea he has lost him forever.
Most of the film is in subtitles and it really brings the true story to life.
The second part of the film we see the young boy flourish in Australia only to realise something is missing as he does not know who he truly is. He feels lost and realises the only way to find himself is to find his family, thus he begins a miraculous search through google earth.
It is an amazing film and should be seen by all.
