Description
Description
We talk a lot about the Middle East, but what was it really like to grow up there? What does it mean to be a woman in Iran? How do people in Iran feel about their Iraqi neighbors? Marjane Satrapi grew up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution of 1979. What was occurring at that time? What were the fears and the hopes? What is the human cost of war? How do those events play into present day? How did Saddam look from the other side of the boarder? Satrapi records the events of her childhood in two graphic novels, "Persepolis" and "Persepolis 2." She joins us on "Weekday" to share her story.
