Pam was interviewed last week on KTVU Channel 2 and talked about what it was like directing a documentary about the Grannies. Mainstream TV networks and radio broadcasters have interviewed Pam and the Grannies in Pam's home, at the Cinequest Film Festival Opening, and by telephone in the days leading up to the film's premiere on Saturday March 7.
Curve Magazine's Heather Robinson had this to say about the movie:
"So many of us are sitting in front of our computers and TV's, missing out on the mini revolutions happening on our own streets. Its good to know the Grannies are out there, pounding the pavement with their canes and sensible shoes. [The documentary] *Raging Grannies* captures these
kick a#$ women in action, with insight into who they are, where they came from and why they set aside their knitting to make the world a better place. Its an inspiring, touching call to action that reminds us all that its never too late to change for the better."
