 CANNES, France (AP) - At a time when Iran's government is locked in a standoff with the West over its nuclear program, the director of "Persepolis" says her film is a reminder that Iranians are just like everyone else.
"What we wanted to say is, if these people scare you, look closer: They have parents, they have lovers, they have hope, they have stories," Marjane Satrapi told The Associated Press in an interview at a Cannes beach cafe.
Satrapi added: "The only real divide in this world is between the idiots and non-idiots."
