With crackling immediacy, D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus captured a singular cultural moment in 1970s New York City: a rowdy battle of ideas about women’s liberation between Norman Mailer and a panel of prominent female thinkers and activists. Heady, heated, and hilarious, this documentary is a dazzling display of feminist firepower featuring some of the most influential figures of the era.
