Running through the end of the month, the movie RBG is worth seeing if you have any interest in women’s rights or the legal battles that have won them. RBG’s legal career in the 70’s gave us much that we may take for granted now, and she did so in a shrewd, strategic way.
At the age of 84, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior’s rise to the nation’s highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans—until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg ‘s exceptional life and career from Betsy West and Julie Cohen.
“What might be most inspiring about Ginsburg—and [the film], which is as rooted in the present as possible—is how she’s continued to hammer away at her dreams and her desires, even when buffeted back by forces she can’t control.” —Kate Erbland, Indiewire
