DESCRIPTION:Persepolis, Film Showing and Discussion\n\nSaturday, June 13th, 6pm\nThis 
 screening is dedicated Marjane Satrapi, 11/22/69-6/4/26.\n\nMarjane 
 Satrapi’s graphic memoir Persepolis (translated into dozens of languages) 
 brought the humanity of the Iranian people to millions around the world. In 
 her award-winning film based on the memoir, young 'Marji' watches her 
 family's dream being fulfilled when the hated Shah is overthrown in the 
 Iranian Revolution of 1979, only to witness and rebel against the new Iran, 
 now ruled by the repressive Islamic fundamentalist regime.\n\nIn a 2012 
 interview Satrapi also spoke against the growing Christian fascist movement 
 in the U.S.  saying “They are the same! The secular people, we have no 
 country. We the people — all the secular people who are looking for 
 freedom — we have to keep together. We are international, as they” — 
 the fanatics of all religions — “are international.”\n\nWe screen 
 Persepolis as the US and Israel have carried out an unprovoked and criminal 
 war that started on 2/28/26. Satrapi opposed both the horrific rule of the 
 US-backed Shah of Iran, AND the rule of the repressive Islamic Republic, 
 which just months ago murdered thousands of protesters. This understanding 
 and perspective is urgently needed now in relation to the US and Israel's 
 unjust attack on Iran and Trump’s repeated threats against Iran and 
 Iranian civilians: to annihilate the “whole civilization” and bomb Iran 
 “back to the Stone Age."\n\nMarjane Satrapi, her courage and art, will be 
 deeply missed: her spirit of rebellion will live on.\n\n\n
