"Codename Jenny" - film screening and discussion

So you think you're a radical activist. But do you have any idea what your parents were up to when they were your age?

"Jenny" finds out, just when the police are closing in on her and her friends. And she discovers that there's more connecting her to the alias she's chosen than she imagines.

Join us for a screening of "Codename Jenny" (Deckname Jenny) and a discussion about radical activism in today's world.

Friday, 7 December - 7pm at the Aro Valley Community Hall, Aro St.
