In this premiere episode of The Falcon & The Whale, Shahin takes us to the threshold of transformation — the night he left Iran, not by choice, but by necessity. 

We journey through the tension of political persecution, a near-fatal attack on a friend, and the quiet courage of a father preparing his sons for exile. Told with raw intimacy and mythic undertones, this story marks the beginning of a long arc: from soil to sky, from fear to becoming.

Through breath, memory, and the ache of goodbye, we meet the boy who will walk into the mountains — and the man who will emerge on the other side.

Ney solo by Shahin.
