RBG Movie: Screening, Seminar, and Discussion

RBG is an intimate portrait of an unlikely rock star: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. With unprecedented access, the filmmakers explore how both her early legal battles and recent actions have changed the world. RBG is a jaunty assemblage of interviews, public appearances and archival material, organized to illuminate the feisty temperament of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her accomplishments so far.

Washington Post: This riveting, surprisingly touching documentary reveals how the quiet, intense Ginsburg became one the most iconic Supreme Court justices in American history.

NY Times: What makes it memorable is its portrait of a woman with an exceptional intellect, to be sure, but also a lifelong capacity for staggering amounts of minutely detailed, unswervingly purposeful work.
