Persepolis
In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Statrapi witnesses the fulfillment of a long-held dream, the defeat of the despised Shah, in the Iranian Revolution of 1979, through the eyes of a young girl and her idealistic family. As Marji grows older, she sees firsthand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has devolved into a repressive tyranny unto itself.
