Women's History Month - WHM Film Festival 'PERSEPOLIS'
2/28/2018 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM • Cerritos College • Teleconference Center
This is an animated film based on French-Iranian Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel of the same name. This coming of age film follows “Marji” during the Iranian Revolution and the subsequent Islamic fundamentalist regime. In an attempt to give her a better life, her parents send her away to a foreign land where she is met with a different type of oppression. While addressing themes of religion, rebellion, immigration, isolation, depression, and political injustices, Persepolis, “manages to be both harrowing and exuberant.”- Corliss, Richard, “The 10 Best Movies,” Time.
