A Long Way Home

At the age of five, Saroo Brierley became separated from his family in India. He was eventually adopted but always wondered about his birth family. Twenty five years later, he used Google Earth to bring his childhood memories to life and found the coordinates to his past.

Oh if only Guddu could see how this all turned out!!!

[@oldteenager6850]

what happened to his brother breaks my heart. The guilt and die trying to find his younger brother is more amazing then this entire story. Indian brotherhood is amazing.

i am the same age as saroo, and i cant begin to imagine what he went thru at age 5 being lost....knowing that, alone, makes me cry. i feel so heavy in my chest thinking about it. thank God little Saroo survived that horrific ordeal....and his lovely australian parents who gave him love, education and safety. this story is one of the most wonderful, sad stories....

[@susanthomas7659]

Thank you Australia, for rescuing this child, the rich Indians could not have done it.

[@johnvarghese5992]

very true

[@madhusharma9949]

That's a very racial viewpoint. I love the Australian couple but your remark stinks

[@mantrikashukla5737]

This is such a tone deaf, disgusting comment.

[@mozziegang]

I mean isnt it the fault of the 1st world that there is so much abject poverty in India?

[@malinkaleo]

[@speakenglishonline24]

This real life story made me so emotional 😭 Don't have words to express for Australian Couple 💟who adopted and brought up SAROO💟 a 5 year old Indian Child separated from his own mother, SAROO💟 pl take care of YOUR OWN INDIAN Mother 💟 🙏too, She waited for you and met after 26 years, God 💟fulfilled her wishes 💟💟💟💟💟

[@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear]

Wow that's crazy. He remembers the place vividly but can't understand a word from his real mother.

[@filllima7992]

He was barely five years old, and it is very likely that he forgot the language of a child he learned from his mother. Also in India, it is more than certain that there must be hundreds of dialects and terrible variations. Open the mind to understand people!

[@amy8460]

Probably from the fear and shock that he remembers his surroundings so well. Franticlly searching for his family at that age would be traumatic. Fear wakes you up but it can shock your mind to forget some things too especially at 5 yrs old.

[@crazyyocrazytho7247]

We are learning about this in school he is such an inspiration

[@markbrauner687]

I'm still remember moment when I'm 5 yrs old raining walking on the street from bicol province with my mum looking for my father ... I agree with you you have nice memory

[@sandeepg1794]

Congratulation sir

[@Rosinamo5058]

Thank goodness for Google earth. So so sad about his dear brother

[@Amitjdvlogs]

पहली बार आपको अपनी पहली वाली मां की मदद करनी चाहिए वह किस हालत में है आपको पता है या नहीं😮

[@annuitcptis3032]

I wonder what really happened to his brother!!

[@sham80kimbo65]

Why Saroo calls his mother:Kayla, when on video she is called- Fatima?

[@dannyteich9356]

Kamla was her name when he knew her. She converted to Islam and changed her name to Fatima

[@PrabhasXD]

Wait his brother is dead??

[@PrabhasXD]

@Zachary Johns :(

[@user-bt3qz8qk2v]

Yes he got hit by a train and got ran over while looking for Saroo
