ABSTRACT
Adapted from the acclaimed series of graphic novels of the same name, Persepolis is the semi-autobiographical story of Marjane Satrapi's life during and after 1979's Iranian Revolution, following the gifted young woman and her liberal family as joy over the repressive Shah of Iran's fall from power turns to horror when Islamic fundamentalists bent on pushing their own totalitarian agenda take control in the aftermath of his overthrow.
