The Woman Who Shot Mussolini!

Author and actress Alice Barry spoke to Elmarie Mawe about thetrue story of the most fascinating Irish woman, Violet Gibson, who actually shot Mussolini in 1926. It's a wonder there hasn't been a movie about her already. It's such an incredible story and Alice is bringing it to Midelton Arts Festival this week.
