A real-life Miles

Post by E Pericoloso Sporgersi »

But then not quite like Miles. Mustafa suffered a lot more and worse damage than Miles did:

In Syria, Mustafa's mother was exposed to the deadly gas Sarin during her fourth month's pregnancy. Mustafa was born at seven months without legs, just stubs for arms and internal damage too.

Mustafa and his one-legged father will now get medical and prosthetic care in Italy.

Much worse than Miles, indeed.

A more realistic real-life Miles was the now deceased jazz pianist Michel Petrucciani.
