Fleeing Iran and Finding His Way in America

Release Date:

When the secret police discover that a well-off Iranian doctor has converted to Christianity, she must flee the country with her two children, taking only what they can fit in a suitcase. Witness her son's coming-of-age as a refugee in Oklahoma as he wrestles with the question: Is what we gained commensurate with what we lost? A heart-wrenching, inspiring—and, at times, hilarious—episode from Constant Wonder.

Guest: Daniel Nayeri, author of "Everything Sad is Untrue (A True Story)"
