After a series of detours Nancy and I ended up at the Landmark and saw Lion, a new movie staring Dev Patel.
Let me tell you it was a tear jerker of the First Order. It’s based on a true story and one of the tag lines as they ran through the where-are-they-now part of the story says “over 80,000 children go missing in India every year”. I tried to confirm the number – other sources quote an even higher number, a source in 2013 said the number was 60,000.
Less than 60,000 Americans died in the entire Vietnam war and here we have more than 80,000 children missing every year. Many are eventually found, many are not.
