In this fascinating verbal battle of the sexes, Mailer faces off with Germaine Greer in a famed 1971 debate on women’s liberation held at New York City’s Town Hall. Hours of raw footage of the event sat on Pennebaker’s shelf for several years before Hegedus edited it down to feature length creating an insightful documents of early 1970s gender politics.
