                                                                       Ruth Bader Ginsburg

                                                         (March 15, 1933- September 18, 2020)

I wrote this review, because on this day September 18, 2020, I heard the news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died, due to complications of Metastatic pancreatic cancer. She was 87. She died serving in her position. Survived by her children and grandchildren. Leaving a seat open on the supreme court bench. This is a film I had watched before, but never wrote about. I want more peopke to know what they have lost in losing her. My greatest wish is that more people see this film and take away something, no matter how small, and for her legacy to continue to change the world. I chose now to do so, as some small attempt to honor her memory. 

                                                                   May She Rest In Peace.

RBG is a documentary on, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Nominated by Bill Clinton, Ruth was appointed on August 10, 1993. She proudly served until the day she died, sculpting and guiding our country into a place, where every American voice and identity was represented. From fighting for Women's Rights, LGBT Rights, Gender Equality, and more. After attending Cornell, Harvard, and Colombia universities, she went on to accept a professor position at Rutgers Law School. 

This documentary goes into her early life, losing a sibling, a mother; all before her high school graduation. To her years in academia, meeting her husband and quickly going on to astound her peers. To being the second woman appointed to the Supreme Court. The amount of work this Amazing woman has done, in my options is immeasurable. This movie was fortunate enough to de filmed 2 years before her death. Any words I can write here, cannot capture or compare to the wisdom you can hear from the icon herself. 

A leader, a pioneer, an icon, a wife, a mother, a legend. 

She was here. She served. There is not much to say other than to watch this movie. I must admit that watching this documentary, on this day brought me to tears. My respect for her life and legacy, is so tremendous, the void of her energy will surely be felt for years. Whether or not you love her or hate her, you cannot ignore the sheer force of her.

We are never sure what the future may hold, but one thing is sure. Whosoever succeeds Her, will have a very big seat to fill.
