Meet the drug grannies
AVALON
Author Sandi Logan and film producer Bill Leimbach discuss the relentlessly fascinating, sometimes hilarious and often jaw-dropping true story of the Drug Grannies - two American women who became unwitting drug mules, driving a hashish laden campervan from Stuttgart to Bombay, then later to Australia. A story of love, family betrayal and justice denied. On at Avalon Bowling Club this Thursday from 7pm. Bookings essential at trybooking.com.
