(2) 4-6 As Afghani asylum seeker Aman sits in a British detention center, best friend Matt tells his retired-journalist grandfather of Aman's plight. Grandfather listens to Aman's stories and orchestrates a protest, reuniting Aman with Shadow, a dog he saved in Afghanistan. The tale is filled with coincidences, prayerful hopes, and prophetic dreams, all of which come together to lift this story without becoming sentimental.
