Greer furious over movie about her past

Germaine Greer

Australian feminist writer and academic Germaine Greer is furious over a movie being made about her hippie past, saying the film is "worse than cannibalism".

Greer has refused to co-operate with the film project, based on Australian writer Richard Neville's Hippie Hippie Shake, which tells the story of the controversial satirical publication Oz magazine during the swinging 60s in Sydney and London.

Greer, a regular contributor to the underground magazine, will be played by Australian model-turned-actress Emma Booth.
