⛓️‍💥ONE MUST EDUCATE ONESELF⛓️‍💥

The people have spoken, PERSEPOLIS was voted into the semifinals of our ANIMATION DOMINATION bracket. In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.

SYNOPSIS:
What begins as another miserable day in corporate purgatory for three overworked women under the rule of their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot of a boss spirals into a laugh-out-loud circus of conspiracies, payback, and razor-sharp feminism when a simple “what if?” suddenly becomes reality.
