Marjane Satrapi on ‘Studio 360’
As a child in Tehran, Marjane Satrapi [mar-ZHAN sah-TRAHP-ee] had a rebellious streak: barely in her teens she was already buying Iron Maiden cassettes off the black market, and getting into hot water with the Guardians of the Revolution.
Kurt Andersen talks to Satrapi about her film Persepolis, based on her acclaimed graphic memoir.
