Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, Best Foreign Independent Film (BIFA) and Academy Award Nominee for Best Animated Feature. "Persepolis" is a wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely intertwined with the history of her country. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, "Persepolis" is at once a story of growing up and a stunning reminder of the human cost of war and political repression.
Followed by commentary and Q & A with Firoozeh Dumas, best-selling author of Funny in Farsi (in development for an ABC series) and Laughing Without an Accent.
