Synopsis
Previously published as : A Long Way Home - A Memoir.
Now a major motion picture.
When Saroo Brierley used Google Earth to find his long-lost home town half a world away, he made global headlines.
Saroo had become lost on a train in India at the age of five. Not knowing the name of his family or where he was from, he survived for weeks on the streets of Kolkata before being taken into an orphanage and adopted by a couple in Australia.
Despite being happy in his new family, Saroo always wondered about his origins.
When he was a young man the advent of Google Earth led him to pore over satellite images of India for landmarks he recognised. And one day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for and set off on a journey to find his mother.
