Particularly well done biographical documentary of the life and influence on American culture of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg from her youth and family through her education, early career as an ACLU attorney bringing suits challenging gender discrimination through her ascension to Associate Justice on the Supreme Court, following careers teaching at prestigious law schools where she began mentoring students, and her first judicial appointment to the Federal Circuit Court for the 3rd District Court in D. C. There are many film clips of interviews and other news coverage, even of an interview with Stephen Colbert during her infamous exercise session with her personal trainer, which would leave me prostrate on the gym floor. Her marriage was solid with husband, Marty, supporting her all along the way and her children who follow in her footsteps. She describes her relationships with her Supreme Court associates as collegial including with her legal polar opposite, Antonio Scalia, with whom she shared a love of grand opera, with rare clips of an opera about their relationship on the Court. I thoroughly enjoyed the level of detail through which I received a well-rounded and multifaceted perspective of her life and cultural impact. I can't recommend it enough.
