The remarkable tale of EMMA THOMPSON'S ADOPTED SON

The British actress adopted a Rwandan boy soldier and now he’s changing the lives of others

- 

It reads better than any movie script – a boy soldier escapes his war-ravaged country, is adopted by a famous couple and then spends his life helping other refugees. But it isn’t a story Hollywood dreamed up – it’s the tale of Tindyebwa Agaba Wise, who was adopted by actors Emma Thompson and Greg Wise.

Born in wartorn Rwanda, Tindy, 33, survived incredible trauma at a young age, including the death of his father from AIDS when he was nine.

When he was 12, militia stormed his village to kidnap its children, including Tindy and nine others – it was the last time he saw his three sisters.
