“Repairing the World”
At the age of 85, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has created an impressive and enduring legal legacy, while also becoming an unexpected intergenerational heroine and pop culture icon. Delving into her personal life and exceptional career, this revelatory documentary explores Ginsburg’s unique personal journey – from her early years through to her rise to America’s highest court – and highlights her ground-breaking achievements, as a young lawyer, in the advancement of gender equality and the enormous impact that her trailblazing legal career has had in helping to lay the foundation for the modern women’s rights movement. With unprecedented access to Ginsberg’s personal life outside the court, directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen expertly interweave Ginsburg’s speeches and writings with archival footage, exclusive home movies and interviews with family, friends, colleagues and Ginsberg herself, to create a captivating and intimate portrait of a remarkable woman who has dedicated herself to fighting for equality and social justice.
