Taj Khyber Rowland knows he’s not who people think he is but he can’t quite remember how his life went so off course.
He decides to spool backwards, to his younger self. A daredevil seven year old Chellamuthu, living happily, but in abject poverty, with his large family in rural India.
But when Chellamuthu disobeys his mother and goes to play at the bus station, he’s persuaded to board a bus with some bigger boys.
He’s kidnapped. And there’s no going back.

Stop Rewind: The Lost Boy tells the true story about Taj, a child in India who was taken from his family and adopted half a world away. Although his adoptive family initially knew nothing of his past, he never forgot who he really was – or that he was taken. But without the language or tools to return, and with no one who understood his story, the details faded, and Taj’s past was quietly boxed away – until one day when he discovers an old cassette tape he recorded as a child.
Told through rare original recordings, immersive sound design and unforgettable first-person testimony. Hosted by Emma Jane Kirby, this is an unforgettable story of stolen childhood, the quest for truth, the triumph of love and the long road to belonging.
