If you can’t be out in the streets of Iran’s cities with the protesters, this would be a good time to (re-)watch “Persepolis,” Marjane Satrapi’s animated memories of growing up under the Shah and the 1979 Iranian Revolution. (BTW, Satrapi herself has reportedly denounced the recent election results as fraud.)
