Last year I so wanted to see this documentary at the film festival, but they played it in the tiniest of cinemas at the most awkward of times. I then got a crazy awful flu that floored me and meant that the ticket I acquired could not be used. Such a shame. So it has been a long time waiting the 5 months for this to be released on itunes so that I could watch it. The best bit that it coming out this week it was 99c. So even though I have a backload of watching material this was my Saturday night pizza on the couch, candles lit viewing.
RBG is the story of Ruth Bader Ginsberg a current Associative Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Such an interesting look at a fascinating woman, who has spent her life fighting for equal rights for women. Hats off to her for attending Law School while a young mother with a young child. Then her husband had cancer, so she helped type up his notes as well, often coping with only a couple of hours sleep each night. I am in awe of that work ethic, especially as she faced discrimination in trying to get a job as a lawyer, as employers would not take her on.
Gosh our world needs more stories like this. Of women and men doing great things for society and making life better for everyone.
5/5

I always like to find my own reasons for admiring someone, rather than those that society or special interest groups apply, and Ginsberg sounds like my type of person.
