A revelatory documentary exploring Ruth Bader Ginsburg's exceptional
life and career.At the age of 84, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg
has created a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected
intergenerational heroine and pop culture icon. But even many of her
ardent admirers don't know the unique personal journey of this
diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court: as a
young lawyer, Ginsburg was a legal architect of the modern women's
rights movement.
Directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen develop a multidimensional
portrait of the Justice through intimate interviews with family,
friends, colleagues, and critics, along with vérité scenes and
archival news footage documenting her career, family photographs, and
exclusive home movies. The filmmakers expertly weave Justice
Ginsburg's speeches and writings together with an extraordinary
interview with the Justice herself, in which she discusses, in quietly
profound terms, her upbringing, passions, and finding love with her
husband, Marty, whom she credits with making her profession possible.
West's and Cohen's access to Ginsburg for the film even included her
exercise workouts with a trainer, sharing coffee at home with her
granddaughter, and rehearsing backstage for a speaking role with the
Washington National Opera. What emerges is a fresh and fierce
authenticity, a more complete, inspiring portrait of Ginsburg than
ever seen before: a complex jurist, woman, scholar, grandmother, opera
lover, wife, mother, daughter, warrior, and citizen
