WHEN: TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2018 AT 12:30 PM
WHERE: THE ATRIUM
“LION” (PG-13)

“Five year old Saroo gets lost on a train traveling away from his home and family. Frightened and bewildered, he ends up thousands of miles away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, escaping all sorts of terrors and close calls in the process, before ending up in an orphanage that is itself not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. As an adult, not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents’ feelings, Saroo suppresses his past, his emotional need for reunification and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his buried yearning. Armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, Saroo sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home.”
This movie stars Nicole Kidman, David Wenham, Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel.
This movie runs approximately 2 hours.
