Dev Patel stars as older Saroo Brierley in the Lion movie
At the poignant turning point in the true story hit movie, Lion, thirty-year-old Saroo Brierley says, “I have to find my way back home“.  Home being six thousand miles away in the Ganesh Tilai neighborhood of Khandwa, India.  Born Sheru (meaning lion) Munshi Khan, when he was only five years old, “Saroo” found himself lost and alone a thousand miles from home.  Had he known how to spell either his name or the name of his neighborhood, young Saroo likely would have found his way back home much earlier.  But then, the world would have been denied his epic tale of hope, redemption and fierce maternal love.

My purpose here is not to review the movie, though I do highly recommend it.  For insight into what prompted my thoughts to follow, you should read Michael Gerson’s excellent Washington Post op-ed piece entitled, What the movie ‘Lion’ tells us about our vision of humanity.  Gerson’s keen insights led me to some of my own.
