Adapted from the non-fiction book "A Long Way Home" by Saroo Brierley. Five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of kilometers across India, away from home and family. Saroo must learn to survive alone in Kolkata, 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 finally return to his first home.

This movie was an incredible journey.  It fully took the audience along with the lead character.  The first half of the movie was rough watching young Saroo go through his journey and at the same time you couldn't help but love the child actor playing him.  That hook carried you through the rest of the movie with Dev Patel taking over.  I've loved him in everything I have seen of his and this was no different.  It's the type of movie that you want to stand up applaud at the end.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It's a very feel good movie that makes you feel like you are on the journey as well.
