Persepolis, the animated adaptation of Marjane Satrapi’s acclaimed graphic novel, remains a timeless exploration of identity, resilience, and freedom. The story follows the director’s coming-of-age during the Iranian Revolution, offering a deeply personal yet universally resonant narrative about a young girl navigating her path amid political turmoil, cultural conflict, and personal growth. The striking black-and-white visuals poignantly capture the duality of hope and despair in a world of rapidly shifting realities.

Today, Persepolis resonates more than ever, as movements like Woman, Life, Freedom amplify the voices of those fighting for equality and human rights in Iran and beyond. The film serves both as a poignant reflection on history and a call for solidarity with those who challenge oppression. Through its deeply human perspective, Persepolis continues to inspire audiences to reflect on the complexities of belonging and the power of individual voices in shaping change.
