Jane Fonda In Five Acts

Jane Fonda In Five Acts is a documentary directed by Susan Lacy which premiered at Sundance to rave reviews. Fonda is one of Hollywood’s most iconic and outspoken, politically active women.  She participated in the Women’s March, the #Metoo movement, equal pay, and of course famously, protested the Vietnam War. Playwright Eve Ensler once said “Jane is proof that any of us can use our lives, our statures, our resources to serve something beyond ourselves.” (HBO 9/24 8pm)
