A personal portrait of Iran's recent political and cultural history, Persepolis is a provocative, graphic narrative of life in Iran before and after the Islamic revolution. Sketched in black and white it is a testament to the level of human suffering experienced by Iranians tossed from one political hypocrisy to another. Persepolis opens a door to events that still haunt America, while shining a bright light on the personal humanity and humor so much alive in Iranian families today.
