Lion - Find my family

5 stars

17 Oct 2019

The plot is about a young boy (Saroo) who gets lost and split up from his family and he must find them again. The setting is in the India, it had true facts and it’s based on a true story - homeless kids get kidnapped sometimes which is really sad. The movie is like a roller coaster going up and down , I had an amazing emotional sound track called “long way home”. The main actor on the film was Dev Patel, who also starred in Slumdog Millionaire. The boy goes all the way from India to Australia. He found a new family but it never let him stop thinking about his old, joyful and happy family. I recommend this to lots of people to watch older and teenagers should watch this and learn about the true life we are living . We all should enjoy our life while we can and love our family and appreciate that we didn’t lose them. Hug them and tell them how much we love them while we can. It was emotional and helped me to learn more about life in India. A must-see!
