RBG (2018)
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg now 84, and still inspired by the lawyers who defended free speech during the Red Scare, Ginsburg refuses to relinquish her passionate duty, steadily fighting for equal rights for all citizens under the law. Through intimate interviews and unprecedented access to Ginsburg’s life outside the court, RBG tells the electric story of Ginsburg’s consuming love affairs with both the Constitution and her beloved husband Marty—and of a life’s work that led her to become an icon of justice in the highest court in the land.

RBGBeing an impartial judge means you can look beyond the wet T-shirt and see the person wearing it.Unfortunately, sexist bar contests are absent from this documentary on arbitrating.A staunch defending of equal rights, Ruth Bader Ginsburg made a name for herself early on working cases concerning discrimination against women in the military and equal social benefits for single fathers. Her social crusading, and tenure as a tax attorney, made her the ideal candidate for then-President Bill Clinton's Supreme Court Justice appointment. Since then, RBG has gone on to become a feminist icon.While it certainly provides an informative overview of RBG's illustrious career on the bench, it is her personal life, specifically with the moments involving her late husband that truly captures the humour and spirit of this feisty humanitarian.Incidentally, once women were on the Supreme Court male justices had to start wearing clothes under their robes.

RBG is a documentary directed by Julie Cohen and Betsy West.Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a remarkable Supreme Court justice. This is a remarkable documentary about her life as a justice and about her life as a person. This is a must-see movie for everyone, but, if you're not reasonably progressive you probably won't enjoy it.Ginsburg stands up for truth, justice, and fairness. As the Supreme Court turns further and further to the right, Ginsburg is more and more isolated. As I write this review, President Trump is trying to force her to resign. I don't think she will.
This was a really good documentary - out in theaters now (5/30/18). The audience (mostly women) applauded at the end of the film. They clapped for this strong and brave woman who has used her intellect to create space for true equal rights under the law. She made room for us.RBG said this quote twice in the film, it wasn't her own but it's a good one. "I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of my brethren is that they take their boots off our necks."#notoriousrbg
This is a wonderful story about about a splendid American. It gives meaning to the phrase "A nation of laws". For those who do not know much about Ruth Bader Ginsberg, she has contributed much to our system. Take 2 hours to enjoy learning why documentary films provide so much that we need to know about contemporary America. This a gem. Don't miss it.
