In 1987, the Raging Granny movement was born in Victoria BC. Two of their earliest members and many other Raging Grannies from newer groups describe their activism, laugh, and sing their political songs. Presented interviews and audio are from 2012, 2017, and 2022.
Featured Speakers/Guests: Founding Raging Grannies Fran Thorburn and Alison Acker, from Victoria BC; other Grannies from Edmonton Alberta, Peterborough Ontario, Occupy Washington DC, Menlo Park California; delegates from the unconvention in Windsor Ontario; and Vancouver Grannies at the Women Transforming Cities launch; plus, Dr. Carole Roy, author of the book The Raging Grannies: Wild Hats, Cheeky Songs and Witty Actions for a Better World.
