Michelle Shephard was reporting in Mogadishu when she met a young refugee named Ismael Abdulle. Abdulle was 17 when he said local militants cut off his hand and foot for refusing to join the terrorist group, al-Shabab. Shephard brought Abdulle’s story to the world and helped spark a movement to bring him to safety. But in a new and intensely personal documentary called The Perfect Story, Michelle reveals how the story Abdulle told her was not the whole truth.
