A powerful reflection on what freedom really means— not as a political talking point, but as a lived experience.

In this chapter, Farahmand Kalayeh looks back on his teenage years in 1970s Iran, where American pop culture, Star Trek’s promise of exploration, and the Wild West’s unfiltered independence shaped his earliest ideas of liberty. He explains how the Pahlavi era opened doors to global culture and technology, how US–Iran relations once flourished, and why everything changed after political shifts that led to persecution of the Baha’i community.

This segment sets the foundation for understanding his lifelong drive toward opportunity, reinvention, and the pursuit of a life where imagination and freedom are possible.
