Persepolis was a film produced in France about the Iranian Revolution that was occuring at the same tim as the Cold War. The protagonist, a young girl, sees how her family suffers during the Iranian Cold War and is sent off to a boarding school in France to get a safer childhood and a better education.
This film was an accurate description of the Iranian Revolution and gave an excellent perspective on another culture in the Middle East. Before she escapes war torn Iran, more rules are put in place for all of the citizens of Iran. Women and girls are forced to wear their headscarfs and cover most of their bodies. The government strongly believes in absolute control over women and all citizens. They put in place a dictatorship where any opposition was murdered for their political beliefs against the government.
