Watch Persepolis For Free (Update: Movie Unbanned)

There’s something paradoxical about the way bans work. For example, if it weren’t for the [1] shenanigans of the Iranian cultural chief enforcer in Lebanon, many Lebanese would have never heard of the award-winning [2] cartoon that scares the mullahs more than American warships.
**Update: I’m getting reports that the minister of interior, a March 14 loyalist, has overturned the ban. I will therefore no longer include a downloadable version of the movie , but I’ll keep the online version below. [3] More From Almustaqbal **
This is why, in the spirit of brotherhood in curiosity, and until our[4] government freedom fighters release the hostage flick to the wider public, I invite you to watch Persepolis right here, right now:
