Persepolis in the News
The 2009 Campus Read selection was a graphic novel, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, a memoir of a girl growing up in revolutionary Iran. The book was also made into a film that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Today's Bismarck Tribune (October 10, 2011) includes a story about what happened after a Tunisian television station showed the film, Persepolis. Tunisian police arrested dozens of Islamist demonstrators set on attacking the offices of the TV station. The article said,"The assault is the latest in a rise in attacks against perceived symbols of secularism by hardcore Muslims in Tunisia ahead of this month's election. Once suppressed by the former regime, conservative Muslims are increasingly making themselves heard in the country's politics."
