I was just reading an interesting interview with Marjane Satrapi about the movie version of Persepolis: http://culturepulp.typepad.com/culturepulp/2008/01/the-culturepulp.html She talked about how one of her motivations for creating both the graphic novel and film versions of Persepolis was to personalize the people of Iran- to let the world know that they are real, individual people and not all America-hating fanatics.
