The famous animated film “Persepolis” by the Iranian Marjan Satrapi was condemned as “anti-Iranian” by Tehran for having denounced the Islamic revolution of 1979. This complaint led Satrapi to emigrate first to Austria and then to France, a country from which she can no longer return.
Persepolis has since become a “cursed” film.
Islamic fundamentalists even tried to burn down (with journalists inside) the television studios of the Tunisian channel Nessma during the “Arab Spring” (which was a freezing Islamic winter). The station was broadcasting Persepolis at that time. Nessma director Kabil Kaorui was also prosecuted for showing the film.
