The 4th Annual Greek International Film Festival Tour (Canada): “Sgt. Fruit Fly”: A Very Greek Take on Teenage Life
You might think this just might be one of those teen movies you would watch in North America. Think again. The themes of bullying, fitting in and adolescent sexuality are covered in “Sgt.
