Sounds like he really did have quite an ordeal as a child. Taken from his family and given a new name . Made to work as a slave. Basically running was his only hope of success. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62123886
Only just watched the full documentary. Bloody hell. What a story. How the hell did he manage to keep that under wraps and keep himself together ?
I watched the programme. Being a cynic I thought there was lots untold about the trafficking. The role of his family, the Good Samaritan sister of the man called Farah, and I was unsure how conveniently they found the real Mo Farrah.
Fantastic achievement by Mo to overcome his overwhelming challenges in his early life . On a bigger picture it makes one contemplate how many thousands of children who face similar conditions and worse but don’t have the sporting/academic/musical talent to be recognised and given special treatment.
