RBG

YORK PICTUREHOUSE / Betsy West and Julie Cohen

2018 ‧ Documentary ‧ 1h 38m

At the age of 84, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior’s rise to the nation’s highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg’s exceptional life and career from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.

Director: Betsy West Julie Cohen
Duration: 98 min 

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with industry experts.

Post-screening discussion with film critic Anna Smith, and Dr Ioana Cismas, Senior Lecturer, York Law School & Centre for Applied Human Rights (an expert in women and the law)  Hosted by Birds’ Eye View’s director-at-large, Mia Bays.
