Step into the colorful and captivating world of "Persepolis," where the story of Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi unfolds against the backdrop of a changing Iran in the 1970s. As a young girl with a fiery spirit, Marji experiences the thrill of her family's dreams coming true with the fall of the Shah during the Iranian Revolution.

"Persepolis" is a poignant and visually stunning coming-of-age tale that delves deep into themes of identity, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
