In his bestselling memoir-turned-film Lion, Saroo Brierley captured the world’s attention with his story of being adopted by a loving Australian couple, and his search for his birth parents. Now, Saroo’s adoptive mother shares her own story in Lioness, revealing her traumatic childhood and exploring the myth of motherhood.

We are delighted to have mother and son join us online to chat about Lioness, and about the love and perseverance that brings families together.
