Raging Grannies | Truly CA

Special | 31m 3s

Watch out for these women! The Raging Grannies do not go quietly into old age -- they inspire with their dedication to social justice. The Action League of the SF Bay Area Peninsula has been both booed and cheered, but they continue to protest with a sense of humor, a sense of outrage and a commitment to non-violence. Directed by Pam Walton.
