As a script, it might seem far fetched: Boy soldier escapes war zone, is adopted by famous couple… then aids refugees who still face hell.

But this is not a Hollywood invention. It is the real-life tale of Tindyebwa Agaba Wise and the couple who gave him a new life in Britain – actors Dame Emma Thompson, 61, and Greg Wise, 54.

Tindy, 33, witnessed unimaginable horror in his native Rwanda. But today, he is a proud humanitarian who has just landed a prized job with a specialist arm of the Metropolitan Police, helping refugees just like him.

And Greg, star of films such as Sense and Sensibility, tells how he and Emma couldn’t be prouder of their “remarkable son” and his work in war zones across the globe.

‘Pieces of Her’ Is an Overlong Toni Collette Showcase Burdened by Flashbacks: TV Review

The attention Laura’s heroism receives threatens to upset a delicate balance, one that Heathcote’s Andy hasn’t even realized exists.Soon enough, Andy, whose adult life has been in a state of suspended animation to care for the ailing Laura, is thrust into the world, ordered by Laura to leave their town, where they have kept a purposefully low profile existence, and go into hiding.
