“Lion” is a film that center around a young boy named Saroo. Who lives in the Khandwa, India. He lives in lower class of India, not being able to read or write. Through the movie he is lost and adopted by an Australian middle class couple.
The movie

“Lion” portrays the concepts of class and creed. When adult Saroo, who is played by Dev Patel deals with a guilt of living in Australian knowing that his biological family is still in India, saying “We swim around in our privilege lives. It makes me sick!” The chapter that this part will center around is chapter 10, stratification, Inequality, and poverty.
Something else that movie portrays is family and family life. Saroo was able to live a life we a life with two average parents verse his life back in India where he only had his mother who was a laborer. In this section of the research paper I will focus on chapter 4 social structure.

We see that he identifies himself as an Australian. The movie shows how Saroo beginning to accept his own culture. In this section I will focus on chapter 9 which is about race, ethnicity for TSP.
In conclusion, that movie focus on three commons thing. The difference in class. The impacts of family life. And the important of race and ethnicity.
