Lion

Eagerly waited for "Lion" the rue story of a small boy lost in India who finds his mother 25 years later.  This is a tremendous story that is superbly told.  I was fortunate to see an interview with the actual people of the tale.  A five year year boy follows is brother to a train station where they searched under the seats of empty cars for loose change, etc. The boy falls asleep a wakes up 1,500 miles from home in a different country.  He next gets sent to Australia and as a 30 year old man decides to find is childhood home and family.

This is a great story of adoption and of life.  it is not lost on me that two of the first movies of the year dealt with the loss of a child only to be followed by a story of adoption.  My life.

Great movie and stay for the credits to see the real characters.

2017 Movie #4    It is ***** stars.
