Delve into the intriguing world of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, affectionately christened "Notorious RBG," in this captivating documentary. This film unravels the nuanced layers of her life, both personal and professional, tracing her trajectory from a quiet warrior to an unexpected pop culture icon, and ultimately, one of the most formidable justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. RBG's staggering legal legacy is expertly woven by directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen, unraveling the path of a woman who at 85, continues to fiercely advocate for equality under the law, relentlessly challenging gender discrimination. Her professional journey, often overshadowed by her reputation as a liberal-leaning justice and a consensus builder, is illuminated in an engaging narrative, highlighting her unlikely friendship with conservative justice Antonin Scalia and her evolution into a dissenting voice as the court veered right. Beyond the austere courtrooms, delve into Ginsburg's personal life, which mirrors her resistance against stereotypical gender roles. Experience her fifty-year-long marriage to Martin D. Ginsburg, a fellow lawyer who gracefully stepped aside to let her legal career flourish, despite his success as a tax attorney. The couple's unique dynamic is a testament to their progressive outlook during a time when such an arrangement was rare. The film also explores Ginsburg's love for opera, a facet of her life as vibrant as her legal career, even featuring her in a non-singing role. RBG, co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films, is not just a definitive biography but a stirring exploration of an exceptional life that remained largely unknown even to Ginsburg's ardent admirers until now.
