Just watched it and too many unanswered questions for my liking.
His Mother clearly knows more than she is letting on.
The “real” Mo Farah looks a good 10 years younger.
If the “fake” Mo Farah really wants to get to the truth why is he not reverting back to his birth name. After all he is not Mo Farah.
I think what that teacher did was illegal and he didn’t think it through properly but he obviously did so with best intention.He should have gone straight to social services and got him an immediate bed for the night with foster parents. He knew what his real name was and that is what should have been passed on and included in all the relevant paperwork.
Finally, why was it so difficult to find Kinzi the woman who took him in? The somali community is not that huge and if he put the feelers out I bet they could find her in hours.
I don’t get the Somali woman bit at all, why did social services put him with her
And if she’s the brother of the man in the couple who originally used him as a servant, then he’s denied it but the police are considering investigating so he must be findable so can’t they find Kinsi through him?
At what point did Kinsi disappear from his life, then, if she brought him up?
I found the story quite touching ,
It’s was all a bit mysterious and he didn’t really get the whole story but the woman who fostered him seemed very kind .
His own mother and siblings seem to be ok but there was something funny about the way he alone was taken . I suspect that there was some relative involved here .
Why are ‘nt the police looking for the woman who brought him illegally to the U.K. ?
I hope he finds some measure of peace in telling this story .

The HO doesn’t think so And even if they did say so, can you imagine the uproar to keep him in the country, Besides, what about his family, they get to stay and he goes?
IMO the Home Office is absolutely WRONG and he is 100% responsible for the position he has placed his family in. In any case they could, and SHOULD, leave with him. Fuss in the UK if he was kicked out - why? No doubt some fools would howl in anguish but let them. No excuse for allowing this serial liar to remain.
Wait just a mo (!), He was a child when he came over here. he didn’t choose to do it. He was forced by grown adults. The HO are investigating the case, but he isn’t part of it insomuch as he is under threat of being sent back. Its everyone else who could be liable.
I agree he should have admitted this far sooner than he did, but having watched the documentary it would seem (to me, anyway) that it all snowballed and there was never a right time? Plus, given his fame, it would have affected his career and possibly back then the rules were different so he probably would have been sent back. I still don’t condone his deceit, but I do understand why he did it. Plus its closure for him now…he can’t “run away from it” like he used to, so possibly it’s built up in his head and has to come out He should still revert to his proper name though.
I admit I didn’t watch the documentary … because it all seems to me to be about a chap who’s done quite well out of been trafficked and now is in need of a boost to his finances or to his ailing celebrity status now he’s no longer competing in athletics.
Do I think he should be deported? Be a bit difficult now, and a little unfair as he’s established a life and family here.
That’s pretty much my view too …added to which, there can’t be a better time to come out with something like this than now when the public are presumably more progressive, sympathetic and aware of the difficulties suffered by certain underprivileged or persecuted groups.
I hope that was sufficiently PC … except no one really say PC anymore either do they.
And even if they did say so, can you imagine the uproar to keep him in the country, Besides, what about his family, they get to stay and he goes?
