Amid rising tensions between Iran and the international community over this country’s nuclear ambitions and its involvement in Iraq, Iranian dissidents are making headways in Europe and the United States, distancing themselves from the ruling fanatic mullahs’ in Tehran.
This year’s debut of an Iranian born film maker, Marjane Satrapi, and her creative animation about a child girl growing up in Iran, at the Cannes Film Festival is one of such instances.
Even before the screening of the movie, the Iranian censor machine started screaming at the Festival organizers and the French government for allowing this movie to enter the competition.
