Clip: 8/17/2012 | 9m 31s

Jeffrey Brown talks to graphic novelist and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi.

Marjane Satrapi's "Persepolis" won international acclaim as an autobiographical tale, told first in the form of a graphic novel, later turned into a film, of a young girl coming of age amid the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. Now comes the film version of "Chicken With Plums," another story based on her family's history.
