Sequel to Persepolis exposes the reality of the suffering of the Baha'is in Iran since the Revolution and until today, and calls for action on their behalf. Note: The images for this clip were borrowed from Marjan Satrapi's film "Persepolis", an admirable work which serves as inspiration to us all.

2,500 years ago, Cyrus the Great penned down what is regarded as the first declaration for human rights, affirming the right of freedom of worship. But centuries later, what is the condition of Iran's largest religious minority?

1. This is not a real film, correct?

This is just a re-editing of the footage from Persepolis to make a YouTube political video, right?

I simply want to know if the creator of the original movie, Marjane Satrapi, approves of this. While her movie (which got cheated at the US box office) was inspiring, and had political content, it was mostly a story of her personal journey to some degree of peace.

I know Ms. Satrapi publicly disapproved of the election results. I just wonder if she approves of the use of her own work (and it IS her own work, the images were animated from her own graphic novel).

2. You are correct that it is not a real film.

But I have no idea what she thinks of it. I thought both this AND the original "Persepolis" were interesting within the context of current events.
