In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.
Persepolis is an acclaimed animated drama that adapts Marjane Satrapi's bestselling graphic novel about growing up during and after the Iranian Revolution. Released in 2007, the film follows a young girl's eyes as her country transforms from the Shah's rule to Islamic fundamentalist governance, exploring how revolution reshapes both a nation and a coming-of-age story.
