Former Vietnam War fighter pilot Raymond Wagner toggled the radio transmit button on the right hand side of his Boeing 747-121's control yoke. 'Clipper 103 requesting oceanic clearance', he intoned, using the modulated aviation voice he'd honed over several decades flying. On the other end was Alan Topp, the Scottish Air Traffic Controller working more than 50 miles away in Prestwick, west of Glasgow.The time was 6:58pm on December 21, 1988.They were the last words recorded from Pan Am Flight 103.Within five minutes of that transmission, all the passengers and crew aboard were dead, killed by a bomb that destroyed the aircraft as it flew over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. Large sections of the plane plunged 20,000ft and crashed into residential streets below.

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.
