How Based On A True Story is Lion?

Rob and Katie look into the film LION (2016) and how it lines up with the true story it's based on. Based on the book A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley, Lion tells the incredible true story of Saroo's life as a 5 year old boy lost and alone on the streets of India and his 25 year journey trying to find his home.
