RBG

A film by Betsy West and Julie Cohen

Hero. Icon. Dissenter.

At the age of 85, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a lengthy legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But the unique personal journey of her rise to the nation’s highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG explores Ginsburg’s life and career.  From Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.

“It’s a fist-pumping, crowd-pleasing documentary that makes one heck of a play to remind people of Ginsburg’s vitality and importance, now more than ever.”

- IndieWire

“Loving and informative…The movie’s touch is light and its spirit buoyant, but there is no mistaking its seriousness or its passion.”

- A.O. Scott, The New York Times

“I can’t thing of a dramatic film on screen right now that will make you feel this good, and that’s a fact.”

- LA Times

“All rise for a true heroine! A fantastic, flat-out fierce film.”

- US Weekly
