Saroo Brierley’s remarkable journey began when, at age five, he was accidentally separated from his family in India and adopted by a Tasmanian couple. Haunted by memories of home, he spent years exploring satellite images and ultimately reconnected with his birth mother after 25 years. His bestselling memoir, A Long Way Home, became the Academy-Award–nominated film Lion, starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. Saroo’s story is a powerful testament to hope, resilience, and the human spirit’s capacity to transcend impossible odds.
