The colliding lives of four strangers and the encounters that bind them together. Our Chain Reaction series begins with a toy tiger accidentally dropped on a Parisian street. Tigrou belonged to Amina Anna Sotaeva, a present from her beloved uncle on her sixth birthday. Amina grew up on the border of Chechnya during a time of conflict. And after her uncle was kidnapped for ransom, the family fled for a new life in France. Amina's tiger came with her – quickly becoming her most treasured possession. But when she was 27 and studying for important law exams, Amina realised with horror that her little tiger had fallen out of her bag. She went on a desperate quest across Paris to find him. Days later, Amina would learn who had found her tiger – a woman called Fanta Keïta. There’s a reason Fanta picked up the tiger and why she picks up many objects like him. You can hear Fanta’s story in the next episode of Chain Reaction on Outlook. Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Jo Impey and May Cameron Has your life ever been touched by a stranger?
