Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Stars In Her Very Own Film, 'RBG'

Today is Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 85th birthday, and it’s only fitting that we mark the occasion by sharing the first trailer for the documentary that celebrates her life and all of her accomplishments.

The trailer for the film, titled “RBG,” was recently released, and it manages to capture the very essence of the justice we all know and love within its first few seconds. Directed by Betsy West and Julie Cohen, RBG takes us on a journey from Justice Ginsburg’s childhood all the way to her days on the Supreme Court, where she became a judicial and cultural icon. From her romance with her late husband, Martin Ginsburg (“He was the first boy I ever knew who cared that I had a brain.”), to her intense workout routines, this movie has it all. Take a look at the trailer, below.

RBG will be featured at select theaters on May 4, 2018.
