Language House International Film Series: "Persepolis" with the Persian & French Clusters
Join us for an international movie screening at the Language House, hosted by students in the Persian and French clusters.
We will screen Persepolis at 6 p.m. Monday, April 21, in 0107 St. Mary's Hall, the International Film Lounge.
The film, written and directed by Marjane Satrapi, tells the poignant story of a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, when hopes were dashed as fundamentalists took power. Based on Satrapi's graphic novel, Persepolis follows her life in pre- and post-revolutionary Iran and later in Europe. It traces her growth from a child to a rebellious, punk-loving teenager against the backdrop of Iran’s political turmoil in the 1970s and ’80s, including the detention and execution of her liberal-leaning family members and the devastation of the Iran-Iraq War.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
