About Ruth: Justice Ginsburg In Her Own Words

Ruth: Justice Ginsburg In Her Own Words tells the remarkable story of how Ruth Bader Ginsburg – who, at the outset of her career, was deemed unhireable on the basis of her gender despite graduating top of her class from both Harvard and Columbia Law Schools – went on to become the second woman ever appointed to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

The film uses Ginsburg’s own words and actions to reveal, in exquisite detail, the full breadth of her life and career – from her work as a trailblazing litigator for the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project, to her groundbreaking work as an appellate judge, to her appointment to serve as a justice on America’s highest court, where she was eventually anointed by her admirers “The Notorious RBG” – a cultural icon and social media firebrand.

Using archival footage and interviews, as well as evocative animations and illustrations, director Freida Lee Mock deftly dramatizes the confluence of factors – personal, psychological, social and political – that shaped Ginsburg’s worldview and influenced the trajectory of her accomplished career.
