Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was inspired by the lawyers who defended free speech during the Red Scare. She refused to relinquish her passionate duty, steadily fighting for equal rights for all citizens under the law. Through intimate interviews and unprecedented access to Ginsburg’s life outside the court, RBG tells the electric story of Ginsburg’s consuming love affairs with both the Constitution and her beloved husband Marty—and of a life’s work that led her to become an icon of justice in the highest court in the land.

Best of all is the time spent with Ginsburg herself, who as a subject is both eloquent and candid. And it's not just that we hear her speak; her language is so powerful and incisive it feels like are actually watching her think.
