The exceptional life and career of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. Highly acclaimed and Academy Award-nominated for Best Documentary Feature.
At 84, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was still inspired by the lawyers who defended free speech during the Red Scare. She refused to relinquish her passionate duty, steadily fighting for equal rights for all citizens under the law.
