Back in 2012 we brought you the story of Saroo Brierley who as a child got lost on a train in India, was adopted by a Tasmanian couple and, as an adult, found his way home using Google Earth. We followed up with more details in this post and in 2013, Google created a YouTube video about it which we covered here. Saroo has also written a book about his experience titled “A Long Way Home”.

Now the story is to be made into a movie called ‘Lion’ with Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel (of Slumdog Millionaire fame) expected to star in it. See this story for more details.
