Watch of the Week: Lion This film is one of those movies that makes your heart hurt and burst at the same time, and then you find out it’s a true story, and all your feelings are just multiplied by ten. Lion starts with a five-year-old boy named Saroo. He accidentally boards a train that takes him across India and far from home. With nowhere to go, he ends up being adopted by an Australian family. After 25 years, Saroo is determined to find his biological family with the few memories he has and the power of the Internet. This six-time Oscar nominee is a feel-good movie that still manages to make you cry. Dev Patel is absolutely phenomenal in his leading role as Saroo, and the way his fight to find his family is portrayed makes you feel frustrated, excited, hopeless and hope- ful right alongside him. Catch it on Netflix. THE STUDENT MOVEMENT 12
