520    Laguna Beach, California, 2009. Alireza Courdee, a 
       fourteen-year-old straight-A student and chemistry whiz, 
       takes his first hit of pot. In as long as it takes to 
       inhale and exhale, he is transformed from the high-
       achieving son of Iranian immigrants into a happy-go-lucky 
       stoner. He loses his virginity, takes up surfing, and 
       sneaks away to all-night raves. For the first time, Reza--
       now Rez--feels like an American teen. Life is smooth; even
       lying to his strict father comes easily.But then he 
       changes again, falling out with the bad boy surfers and in
       with a group of kids more awake to the world around them, 
       who share his background, and whose ideas fill him with a 
       very different sense of purpose. Within a year, Reza and 
       two friends are making their way to Syria to join in the 
       fight.Timely, nuanced, and emotionally forceful, A Good 
       Country is a gorgeous meditation on modern life, religious
       radicalization, and a young man caught among vastly 
       different worlds. What we are left with at the dramatic 
       end is not an assessment of good or evil, east versus west,
       but a lingering question that applies to all souls: Does a
       person decide how to live, or is their life decided for 
       them?
