Manage episode 443329394 series 3498340
In this week’s high-energy episode, your favorite hosts Adriana and Jeanna dive into Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, a powerful graphic novel that’s faced its fair share of bans. But we’re not just talking Iran in the 1980s—we’re making connections that hit close to home! 🇺🇸 With the 2024 election looming and the terrifying possibility of Trump’s return to power, could America be heading down a similar path of oppression and censorship?
Adriana and Jeanna take a deep dive into how Satrapi’s experience as a young girl facing religious and political repression in Iran mirrors other historical stories of resistance. They draw compelling parallels to The Diary of Anne Frank and the ongoing fight for freedom in Palestine, highlighting Bisan’s heartbreaking yet resilient journey.
Join us as we connect the dots between these iconic voices of struggle—Anne Frank, Bisan, and Marjane—and how they relate to a future where personal freedom, expression, and human rights could be in jeopardy in America. What happens when power is concentrated in the hands of one regime? How do we resist, and what can we learn from these powerful narratives?
Prepare for an episode full of laughs, sharp insights, and some serious thought-provoking conversations.
