Town Bloody Hall (1979)
Directed by Chris Hegedus, D. A. Pennebaker
“A Dialogue On Women’s Liberation”
Documentary · 1h 28m
On the evening of April 30, 1971, a standing room only audience of local literati and feminists packed New York City’s Town Hall to watch Norman Mailer, who had just written “The Prisoner of Sex,” grapple with a panel of passionate feminists. The subject was Women’s Liberation, an issue on which Mailer seemed like the devil’s own advocate.
