RBG Virtual Documentary Screening

March 13-15
Virtual 

Join the Philadelphia Commission for Women and Philadelphia NOW for a virtual screening of RBG, a documentary exploring the life and career of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a pioneering advocate for women’s rights and gender equality.

At the age of 85, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg developed a lengthy legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But the unique personal journey of her rise to the nation’s highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG explores Ginsburg’s life and career.  From Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films.
