The makers and the producers of 'Lion' decided to hold a special screening for the kids of "Salaam Balak" and for members of Google India.

Google has a crucial part to play in 'Lion', as the film's narrative shows the central character Saroo played by Dev Patel uses the help of the technology of Google Earth to find his way back home in India thousands of miles away from Tasmania, Australia.

The screening was hosted by Pictureworks for the children of "Salaam Balak" especially to get an opportunity to bond with them, over the story of a lifetime, that they might remotely or almost completely relate to.

For the records, "Salaam Baalak", is a non-profit organization established by Mira Nair, which provides support and care for the children who are on the streets and are working. The shelter for kids runs full hours, along with a 24-hour toll-free helpline service. The program includes providing formal and informal education to the kids.
