The film, Town Bloody Hall, is great: en.wikipedia.org...

Town Bloody Hall is a 1979 documentary film of a panel debate between feminist advocates and activist Norman Mailer.[1] Filmed on April 30, 1971, in The Town Hall in New York City. Town Bloody Hall features a panel of feminist advocates for the women's liberation movement and Norman Mailer, author of The Prisoner of Sex (1971). Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker produced the film, which stars Jacqueline Ceballos, Germaine Greer, Jill Johnston, Diana Trilling, and Norman Mailer. The footage of the panel was recorded and released as a documentary in 1979.
