This film chronicles the achievements of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It traces her upbringing, her impressive law career, her lifelong determination to fight for women’s equal rights and her current pop culture status. The filmmakers take a traditional approach to documentary storytelling: a linear structure told thru numerous interviews and lots of archival photos and video. But that’s OK. People coming to see this are probably looking to learn more about this extraordinary character and appreciate her accomplishments. It’s not about innovative cinema, but about this ground-breaking woman. In that case (pun intended) it’s a fascinating story.
