Carla Cranny interviewed for the documentary "Hell No We Won't Go"
Description
At her Catholic girls school, Carla Cranny was inspired by the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) and at a young age began a lifelong commitment to justice and peace. During university at the start of the 70s, she and her friends (some from her Catholic school days) set up a draft resistance household in Pemmel St, Newtown. She gave support to the women in the family of draft resister Michael Matteson as they lived in the same street and took as her role models the strong women who worked behind the scenes in SOS, the Quakers, etc. The proximity to Redfern of the activist households in Newtown led Carla to involvement in Aboriginal social justice and throughout this early period in her life she learned much about practical activism.
