Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis


I had the opportunity to listen to Marjane Satrapi talk about her Persepolis graphic novels (or comics if you prefer) and her film, which was nominated for an Academy Award. If you haven't heard of it, Satrapi writes of her childhood in Iran and the political upheaval that took place. Follow this link for the trailer on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpNATfZH5KU
