Ruth Bader Ginsberg (RBG) was appointed to the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) by President Bill Clinton in 1993 as the second of only four women to be confirmed to the SCOTUS. At one time she was the only female Justice on the SCOTUS. Her exceptional career before and since her nomination is played out in this very interesting and personal film. RBG as she has become known is now something of a liberal icon on the Court, although her ability to continue serving is being challenged by health issues.
