This movie profiles Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. I'm familiar with her on the High Court, but didn't know her history. What a trailblazer! The documentary, while telling her life story, also tells about the cases that she argues before the Supreme Court in the 1970s. There are several interviews with the plaintiffs in those cases. It's hard to remember how differently women were treated then in workplace and governmental policies. She also argues a case where policy discriminated against a man. She's a true champion of equal rights for all.
I'd highly recommend watching the movie if you want a profile of an important person as well as an interesting history lesson.
