Why "Persepolis"?
Choosing this film was intentional. As a story of growth, identity, and resilience set against the backdrop of the Iranian Revolution, it resonates deeply with our international community. It reminded us that while our backgrounds differ, the search for self and the struggle for freedom are universal themes.
Homemade Pizza & Great Company
The evening started in the best way possible: with the smell of homemade pizza wafting through the air. We believe that sharing a meal is the first step toward sharing a story. With 12 participants gathered around, the atmosphere was intimate and welcoming—the perfect "Offline Hour" to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with each other.
Engaging with the Story: The Kahoot! Experience
After the credits rolled, we didn't just walk away. We stayed to talk. To help process the film’s historical context and narrative details, we held an interactive Kahoot! session.
A Note on the Dynamic: Rather than a high-stakes competition, the Kahoot! served as a catalyst for dialogue. It allowed us to revisit key moments of the film, clarify historical facts, and share our personal takeaways in a lighthearted, engaging way. It’s amazing how much more you see in a film when you view it through 12 different pairs of eyes.
