Foreign Film Series to begin Thursday

Continuing Education's Foreign Film Series will present Persepolis at 7 p.m., September 2, at the Kemp Center for the Arts. A fascinating and wholly unexpected take on Iran's islamic revolution beginning in the 1970s. Persepolis is an enthralling feature about a spirited young woman who spends her life trying to deal with the consequences of her nation's history. Based on an autobiographical comic book by Marjane Satrapi, the story concerns Marji, whose natural fire and precociousness are slowly dampened by the rise of religious extremists.
