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, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.

- RBG, was very well done, moving in many parts. A civics lesson filled with legal ,political, social and cultural dimensions. Ginsburb's remarkable character, intelligence and selfhoodt humbles the average viewer and makes us feel grateful for the work of exceptional persons like Ginsburg. whose passion, integrity and wisdom make our live' better. The photography, the historical recordings and historical film are interlaced beautifully in telling her story as advocate and judge. The glimpse we get here of the making of law, the legal process, the parties, lawyers, and poltical representatives that make it work is for the movie goer fascinating ,if not inspring. In other word: Well worth seeing.Reply

- You mean she never saw Kate McKinnon give a Gins-burn?! This is a pretty good, if tame, documentary. I learned some stuff. Ginsburg was rejected for her first Supreme Court clerkship due to her gender. In her pre-SC career, she was instrumental in crafting and presenting arguments that women in the military should receive the same housing allowance as a male, that a widower caring for young children should receive survivor social security benefits if his wife dies (not just the purview of females). At one point her votes were centrist in The Court, but The Court's rulings and composition have shifted to the right around her. My favorite factoid is that she has a black ruff, for days where she is presenting a minority opinion on a ruling.Reply
