Marjane Satrapi

Click here to view a slideshowAs a child in Tehran, Marjane Satrapi had a rebellious streak: barely in her teens she was already buying Iron Maiden cassettes off the black market, and getting in hot water with the Guardians of the Revolution. Kurt talks to Satrapi about her film "Persepolis," based on her acclaimed graphic memoir.

I really loved this show. I particularly appreciatd Ms. Satrapi's point about how people tend to take the easy route of assuming an entire population holds one set of beliefs, and if we do this we'll never accurately understand Iran. Her interview, and the other interviews on the show, left me feeling much more hopeful.

Listening to how things are in Iran, I have great respect for those individuals who are willing to "Buck the system". We are truly one human family! Lets hope that freedom comes to all countries and that we all have the right to express our individual thoughts! Thank you for another great program! Raven
