About this listen
In 1993, an 8-year-old Mo Farah arrived in the UK as a refugee from war-torn Somalia. It would only be revealed 30 years later, through a documentary of his own making, that the Olympic champion was brought to the UK illegally under a false identity. His real name: Hussein Abdi Kahin.
While the documentary uncovers an incredible story, it raises even more questions about the national treasure – and about the boy whose identity he was given. The other Mo Farah.
Journalists Andy Jehring and Kamal Sultan set out to discover what happened to Sir Mo's namesake. Their investigation takes them from Somali cafés in West London to the streets of Istanbul, Djibouti, Nairobi, and war-torn Mogadishu.
