Saroo's story is one of the most interesting lifestories I've ever heard.
i think that Sue and John Brierley are the real heroes of this story. Amazing people.
Indeed ,they were.Such a beautiful souls.May God bless them and make their rest of their lives more beautiful.
White savior mentality. If Europe hadn’t colonized India, the poverty that prompted this story may not have happened. Put it in context.
I agree but feel that Saroo's biological mother is also a great hero. She had to cope with abandonment, descent into poverty where she had to raise four children on her own. It is hard to fathom the pain of losing two of her children on a single night. Nonetheless she supported herself and her remaining two children and was even able to send them to school. Her daughter Shikela became a teacher and her other son has a successful professional career.
She is a monumentally successful human being being by any standard.
GroWiTheFlow I understand the point of view very well. I agree in part to it, because in this case, as I am adopted myself, it’s not a thing of black and white, but I want to give the chance to someone who was less lucky than me to have a better life. You can literally adopt in any part of the world cause in any part of the world there are abandoned kids with different stories, but a lot of the times you are limited even from your own state politic. At the end I want to say that they saved a life and not an Indian boy this is what adoptive families do. Not everybody stop themselves to look at the surface.
@@roberthoward6590 Agree totally. The values the resourcefulness the courage the moral compass and the intuition. Saroo knew when to flee well before he could have understood why. Gudu was a great brother too. Sue and John B lovely people and really lucky with Saroo. Not so lucky with the other lad whom one assumes was psychically damaged in a similar incident to those we saw Saroo escape from . His Indian mother is at the very top of a cast of wonderful people.
"Don't cry, he is your son, I give you my son". I am crying my eyes out!
Me too- instant tears at that sentence. What a pure expression of love and humanity.
Saroo is very well raised. I can listen to him for hours.
Asif Zaman I agree with you.
I agree with u.
I couldn't have said it better
Sue is the most precious woman I have ever seen :') she is soo genuine
I cried most of the time during the movie. Wishing Sue's family all the best. Such caring and amazing people
It's a shame no one seems to be making a bigger deal of the child protection issues shown in the film, that are as real as his story and sadly so very actual still to this day!
Emma Perinetti very true and what are those men stealing kids for ? What are they doing to the boys
Hey Emma, you're right even after 4 years of the movie coming issues like this are much worse in India, as Indian I can also tell you how widely they are known in the Indian society, there are thousands of organization working here on it from all around the world but the problems couldn't seems to have gone or even going away anytime soon.
@@cheriepynk8259 It is very well known to everyone here in India that there are certain small gangs in the cities who steals such small kids for a very unofficial, illegal, and very much organized business where they manipulate such kids and throw them into begging or working as labors in illegal work environments, and they take a share of whatever they earn. Why kids though?Kids are easily manipulable as well as easy to get the sympathy of others. If you read about it you'll know that even after being kidnapped these little kids are made or trained or whatever you say to their masters that they are far from being saved out of this. This is why foreigners visit India for the first time they are advised not to give a single amount of money to these kids beggars or beggars in generals because it is only gonna have more beggars like those.
@@arinsharma52 wow, but they need help some how, we can’t just leave them to the criminals demise. I feel it for the parents as well. And when I visited India I did give money because I can’t see children hungry etc. and just turn the other way
@@arinsharma52 🤔
I think lion should have been given the Oscar for the best film. So much of a good message that reached the human heart and spirit.
this lady is the definition of mother and saroo is definition of a son.
Sue has so much love and care in her voice...
i don't remember having cried so much while watching a movie.
and as i walked out the theatre, i couldn't speak one word for about 10 mins.
When I watched the film, I remember everybody sat there in complete silence and nobody left their seats even after the credits ended
What an amazing lady Sue ! Can't believe there are people like her
I love his mother Sue Brierly and his dad for being amazing, loving parents to him. His biological mother's words, "Don't cry, I give you my son, he is your son", they are so touching. God bless this family!
What a beautiful movie cried alot during it. 😢
Mum is an angel from heaven,hope for Humanity
Nothing but love for this masterpiece of a movie. I can't remember having cried so much during a movie. Especially the scenes at the railroad track where he "sees" his brother again and the dramatic music plays, powerfull stuff! The Aussie couple did some superb work in adopting and raising this guy. Faith in humanity restored....
I also am adopted and looked for my birth mother who I never found but knew till I was 7 years old. I have also had a wonderful life. I recently found her grave but she had passed over many years ago. Best of luck to Saroo and Sue. You have an amazing story. Much love to you both!
Such a lovely story, how lucky was he to have been adopted by such a lovely family, it restores my faith in the human race.
Read the book. It goes much more deeper than the movie.
What is it called?
@@giulia7675
Book title is A long way home
I think they should make a sequel portraying Mantosh's life. I think it would be a good way for him to heal. His story crushed me more than Saroo's but I am glad they showed Mantosh's struggles. It shows how adoption really isn't rosy, Saroo was very lucky.
Take a bow Sue and John Brierley!!
He was brought up well, thanks Ms Sue❤❤
My greatest respect and admiration to John and Sue...
The love n value they instilled in Saroo is priceless....
Love n blessings from South Africa
to this awesome family ❤🙏
I read this book in jail and LOVED it!!!! So thankful for his ending up finding his family... Bless you Saroo
What are you doing in jail 😲😲
@@vidhanchandrasahu4190 reading books of course.
Well said Saroo all the family back together again So sir real - bless he brought her a house ❤❤beautiful
I'm so glad that Saroo's story worked out as it has. But, there are many that don't, through no fault of their own. I praise all parents that adopt, what an amazing thing you do. I am a father of two. I love that Saroo found his way and he ended up with two beautiful mothers! Gosh the human race messes with my head but we MUST look after the worlds kids, it's sooooo important. To all kids looking to find their way I say keep going, like in this story, keep looking and keep your course. You are loved, believe it, you are loved.
The best interview re LION~~ I am an AUssie Chinese dude whose adoptive mother is very threatened about seeking my bio family..cheers to yo Saroo and Sue, AWARENESS is wisdom and freeing ultimately
Maybe you should show her this film.
Yeah. 'Threatened' adoptive parents are the norm it seems... My sneaking suspicion is that's why certain people choose to adopt internationally rather than domestically. :/
I disagree. I am the mother of two international adoptees, and I have several friends who have also adopted internationally. The reason that people adopt internationally are many, but I don't know anyone who would have any problem with their children searching for their birthparents. I've been in facebook and yahoo groups with many parents who have paid great sums of money to find their children's original families. It can be very expensive, due to the fact we would have to hire someone who reads and speaks the language and can travel to the country and search for records. Everyone I know is completely vested in their children and will do anything they can to help their kids do what they need to gain closure and understanding of their birth family.
She sounds super selfish.....smh....you should do it anyway because everyone needs to know who they truly are.
@@spysmom2 ....As long as is has been since your post Chris,I don't know if you will see this or not; but, coming from an adoptee (not international), from the U.S., bless you.
Salute to the Amazing lady Sue for being so great human being.
Just watched the movie and bawling my eyes out, blessed to have people like sue and John and saroo’s mother
Great mum. Mum and dad are real superheroes.
Sue and SAroo always made me cried everytime i watch this movie
Omg theres a movie!? I just watched the documentary of him finding his birth mother. I was crying from the moment he said he remembers his family😢. So happy for him and his mother and siblings. Such a sad but beautiful story, and his adoptive parents are the best!
called „Lion“. sooo emotional!!
I havent seen such a great movie in a long long time. Heart breaking but magnificent too! I just wish Saroos brother hadnt died... :(
Chrystala Georgiades ikr? It would have been so nice to hear him speak about that night when it all started :(
The reason Saroo got lost that night was due to his brother being run over by a train. If he hadn't died, Saroo would have returned home with him. However, upon hearing that the brother had died the same night Saroo got lost bought me relief. Could you imagine the anguish and guilt the brother would have felt otherwise? It would have destroyed him...
That was the saddest part not having his brother GUDU back for a hug
In a strange way, his brother dying is a gift to Saroo ... a path out of poverty to a better life.
Great interview and what a lovely mum and son ❤️
Sue and Jhon Brierley are the real heros..... Great respect for them....
Such a touching story! I was so glad Saroo got his happy ending. It could have turned out so differently.
Deeply touched by this interview and the movie! It provides hope for humanity and the planet. We all are one! Thank you so much Saroo for sharing your story!
A brilliantly portrayed and directed movie, indeed one of the very best I have ever seen and I am 52 and seen many hundreds of movies in my time so far. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for sharing and making the story/book/movie..♥♥
I feel you, mate
His adoptive mother she has a heart of a gold. Very luky suroo.
these two people are so down to the Earth. Lovely.
Amazing movie and so heart warming that he never gave up finding his biological family, yet never wanting to hurt Sue and his adopted family . This story is so emotional
Beautiful That His Adoptive Mother Wrote Down n Kept All His Memory Recall from When He Was First Adopted, (Instead of Pretending He Was A Child Now Owned as a Pennence Not Allowed to Ever Speak of That Inner Struggle n Loss of Always Missing Your Birth Family) They Loved Him Without Without Suppressing His Little Heart n Memories of Another Life and Another Family.. Embracing His Missing Pieces Is Amazing, When Alot of Adoptive Parents Do Not Have The Ability to Cope with n Accept You Have Links To Another Part of Your Life That's Missing.. Very Mature Parenting Right There.. Lovely To See Two Mother's Hug in Mutual Love n Respect for Eachother Too.. 💗💗💗
Sue is the most amazing woman kind hearted beautiful 😍🥰
Extremely well spoken both Sue and Seruh
Eine sehr berührende Geschichte, ich bewundere Menschen, die sich so entschieden haben, ihre Kinder aufzugeben und gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit aufzugeben, Kinder ohne Zuhause glücklich zu machen. 80.0000 !!!! Kinder in Indien auf der Straße 😭
Incredible, true story. Incredible book. Incredible film. I cried buckets. Truly wonderful.
Even from this interview. A lump in my throat. Dam dust got in my eyes again.
Wow, It's a great story.Sue and John Brierley both r great.They take care and look after Saroo.
Saroo is a very beautiful man
you brought tears in my eyes
Teary-eyed watching this movie😥
There are a lot of interviews. All about this great and heart touching story. Finally now, the right questions that matter, are being asked and answered.
Saroo You’re indeed very lucky to have a very loving adoptive parents ….
❤️🥰
Meu Deus que historia..! O que essa criança passou é inacreditável. Que pais maravilhosos ele encontrou.
Sue issuch a wonderful human beings.
Giving Birth and Motherhood are whole different things people should realise. This is the story of Lord Krishna. Most stories and songs of Krishna are with Jasomati Maya, the mother who raised her but didn't give birth. I humbly bow down to Sue Brailey for the pure Motherhood and Love. ❤️❤️❤️
I cried 😭😭😭😭😭 watching this movie
I cannot pass all suroo interview and story,i did not watched the movie yet.but watch his interviews tare my heart. Good on you adoptif mum she is a well understood person.as for you biology mum do look after too.she has been into a lots of stress.
Danielle Hutchinson same here havent watch the movie, looking for dvd. but watched most his interviews and stories just makes me cry cant wait to watch the film
So glad that Saroo didn't give up, and so glad that Google Earth made the it possible for the search to be successful. One world family. The human race must assimilate this notion to avoid extinction.
Without google earth none of this would have been possible, thank God he had 2 great mums and wonderful dad
Wat een verhaal zeg , was heel spannend en een traantje erbij . Heel goed in elkaar gezet, ik was op de punt van mijn stoel 🙏🏻👍👋😉🇳🇱
I like your story Saroo meanwhile I love this lady,,OMG SOO much thoughtful for adpoting the brown, Namaste 🙏🙏🙏
Compelling and moving. This movie stays with you
yes, it is.
Bunch of legends.
Great interview - good substance
So Amazing ! ! ! !
Wonderful movie!
Wonderful people.
This movie was very sad. The entire time I was watching it, I was just wanting to help this little boy. Its the greatest Movie I've ever seen. and the story is a story that everyone should know about. JK
Sad but his life changes wonderful parents happy also for his birth mother
Watched it and loved it 😍
Good to hear he at least bought his real mum a house
God bless always
A new subscriber, the story of Lion very interesting.
Wonderful book! Wonderful movie! I saw the movie first. I was afraid that reading the book might affect my view on the movie. Would I like the movie more? Would I like the book better? There were a few differences, but I loved them both!
Saroo did say he bought his mom a home, also helped his Siblings,also make sure his neices and nephews an good educations .
He looks very much like Irfan Khan😎
Yes he do.
I can’t imagine myself looking for a neighborhood in google map
Not all people have the GIFT TO POTRAY THE Love ❤️ OF THE LORD JESUS 🙏 ....GOD BLESS SUE AND HER HUSBAND THEY ARE SO DIVINE.
People forget how prayers can be answered. It played a huge role. In thankfull to Allah. Allah is most mercyfull.
I was watching this and though to myself: at the end of the film it says Gudu was hit by a train near that platform and die. Was it a suicide after learning that he lost his brother?
No. He hadn't lost his brother! What the kids did to find food was dangerous. They looked after each other as best they could but fate dealt them a terrible blow..
What kind of a stupid question is that ur an idiot
Poor Saroo biological mother having to go through losing a young son because he died and his brother lost for 20+ years I’m amazed she didn’t go nuts
Thank God for that orphanage and for the wonderful people that adopted him not all stories have a good ending
Our indian boy ... Great .... Great Australia
It's a pity when here Kids are used for Organ and child Trafficking and out there some people think of giving Orphans a home, family and space in their hearts. ❤️ Saroo Sheru is one lucky child to have 2 wonderful mothers.
Nice story
Very good movie 🍿
susan, higher than god. if more people were like her, then we don't heaven.
2 YEARS for Mantosh?? That's disgraceful.
mantosh's story breaks my heart :,( they showcased it well in the movie I really hope he is coping and doing more ok now
Rob Just, could pls tell me what does it means "2 years for mantosh"? I missed the story of mantosh. Thanks
@@zatoichi-sm8mj The administration to adopt him so mantosh had to stay in India in bad conditions 2 years longer. Those care homes were not that good in that time in India.
@@eviken1982 thanks
@@zatoichi-sm8mj Mantosh was abused in the care home of India, burned with cigarettes, raped and got severly spanked. He came with mental illness to Australia and is still not ok.
😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤
No somos conscientes. La realidad supera a la ficción.😔
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like he is irfan khan's son?
Can someone tell me the name of his book please?
It's called "A Long Way Home" written by Saroo Brierley
A long way home
SHERU means ... LION
So did Mantosh even have a say in having his addiction put in the spotlight?
This is a touching story. But a bit disrespectful towards Mantosh
☻❤
I was feel so sad how people treat little vanrable children like this, it like animal eating animal, and chasing soon as darkness prevail. Can some one look in to orphanage. How children are
They could have at least got a Indian guy to play Saroo. That guy doesn't look Indian at all!
Dev Patel is an Indian American Actor
He's indian- british not American
What did mantosh do to sue??
Una traducción por favor, no todos los mexicanos hablamos inglés
