As a tribute to the late Marjane Satrapi, we're screening the Cannes Jury Prize-winning film adaptation of her graphic novel that follows a young girl in Iran during the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine year old Marjane that we see a people's hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands.
Critically acclaimed on its release in 2007, Satrapi went on to be nominated an Oscar® for the best animated feature - the first woman ever to be nominated in the category.
