English: Saroo Brierley (born May 22, 1981) is an Indian-born Australian businessman, author who, at the age of five, was accidentally separated from his biological family. He was adopted by an Australian couple but was reunited with his biological mother 25 years later after finding his hometown via Google Earth. His story generated significant international media attention, especially in Australia and India.
An autobiographical account of his experiences, A Long Way Home, was published in 2013 in Australia, released internationally in 2014, and adapted into the 2016 Oscar-nominated film Lion, starring Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel as Saroo, David Wenham as his adoptive father, John Brierley and Nicole Kidman as his adoptive mother, Sue Brierley.
