This uplifting epic story and talented cast of Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman, David Wenham and Rooney Mara make it a moving journey across continents and time.

In 1986, five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of miles across India, away from home and family.

He must learn to survive alone in Calcutta, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple.

Twenty-five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and his first home.

Lion, rated PG, will screen on Friday, April 28, at 7.30pm, at Scone Films’ pop-up cinema, at the Senior Citizen's Centre, Oxford Road.

Entry is open to all at $12; and seating is limited.
