My wife and I went to see the movie Lion. It recreates the true story of an Indian boy who is separated from his poor family and ends up getting adopted by an upper middle-class family in Australia.
I highly recommend it. Besides being a moving story it deals with several substantial issues:
the incredible emotional bond between children and parents, whether adopted or biological
the jarring disparity between the material poverty of much of India and the material wealth and comfort of upper middle-class Australia (something I am too familiar with),
the tragedy of street children.
