About

In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.

Stripped-back charcoal sketches transform a heavy political history into an intimate, pulsing coming-of-age tale. This hand-drawn memoir captures the dizzying shift from revolutionary hope to fundamentalist reality through the eyes of a rebellious child.
