Last year saw the release of the animated film Persepolis, an adaption of the comics by Marjane Satrapi. In the movie, the story of Marjane unfolds through the Iranian Revolution, living abroad in Europe, and her return to an Iran changed by Islamic law. In response to the election protests, two Iranian cartoonists have created Persepolis 2.0 using the original images of Satrapi accompanying a new narrative based on the recent election experience. You can view Persepolis 2.0 online at spreadpersepolis.com.

The most striking parallel to the original Persepolis is the last frame were God is holding who is now Neda in his arms saying, "Don't cry Neda, your death will not be in vain...". It is fascinating to see the original images from the novel "recycled" to portray a contemporary event. It is a stark reminder of the repeating cycle of history.
