Persepolis and Iran

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

Studio 360 looks at the other Iran –- not the “rogue state,” but the nation with a 4,000-year-old cultural history and flourishing contemporary film, literature, and music. Kurt Andersen talks to graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi about her youth as an Iranian punk; her new animated film is an adaptation of her illustrated memoir "Persepolis." Writers Reza Aslan and Roya Hakakian read Persian poems that fly in the face of Iran’s oppressive government.
