This is the true, uplifting story of Saroo Brierley. He was separated from his parents as a boy, lost on a train in India, and taken thousands of miles from his home. He grew up with adoptive parents in Australia, and then returned as an adult to find his family. He had nothing to go on but scattered childhood memories, and Google Earth.

The film received six nominations for Academy Awards, including best picture, best original score and best cinematography. It won best actor in a supporting role, and best adapted screenplay. Tomatoes gives it a critic's score of 86, and an audience approval score of 92.

The film was released in theatres last November, and is just out this week on DVD.
