About This Item

She states: "The Chief of police or it's officers or the District Attorney in Hayward are not the judges of my work. Why don't they want Behind the Green Door shown? Are they afraid of honesty in sexual matters? Would that destroy their community?" She goes onto declare that: "It is time for Hayward to join the Twentieth Century and hope that my film Behind the Green Door will help it do so." Note that this clip follows the press conference up till it's end. Film Reference Number KRON 3348-8 in DIVA features earlier sections of Chambers's comments.
