Now, having turned thirty, Immigrant: Courage Required follows her on an average day as she goes about her new life and work. But, in truth, this day is anything but normal as we are immersed in flashback after flashback to her previous life in Iran and the early days of her life in the U.S. Every time Haghtalab transports back to a different point in her life, we get another piece of her history, and she has the opportunity to re-evaluate and re-learn lessons from the past. We see her move through the struggles of transitioning into a new culture and learning how to express herself, all while juggling several other languages, cultures, and customs in her brain.
