Show Notes
Sir Mo is knighted – he's a four-time Olympic champion and national treasure. After years in the public eye, he confronts his complex past with a documentary that shocks the world and earns him a BAFTA. But in doing so, he unwittingly thrusts Mohamed into the spotlight; at the very moment his namesake's life seems to be turning around. Mohamed's Turkish visa expires and he's deported to Mogadishu – a city he fled 35 years ago and barely remembers. Alone, penniless, and held at gunpoint within weeks, he faces spending the rest of his life in one of the world’s most violent cities, separated from the rest of his family. Then Sir Mo makes a dramatic intervention.
