Lion is this week’s $1 HD Movie Rental at Amazon and iTunes (Reg. $5)

$1

Aside from an awesome sale on Will Ferrell movies, Amazon and iTunes have selected Lion as the $1 HD Movie Rental of the Week. For comparison, this film usually rents for $5 at most services right now. Rated 4.7/5 stars by over 580 Amazon reviewers.

In LION, five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train travelling away from his home and family. Frightened and bewildered, he ends up thousands of miles away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, escaping all sorts of terrors and close calls in the process, before ending up in an orphanage that is itself not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. Not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents’ feelings, he suppresses his past, his emotional need for reunification, and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his buried yearning.
