The film shows how Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a top law graduate who faced discrimination, became a Supreme Court Justice and a champion of gender equality and women's rights. It explores both her public and private life, and how she overcame the challenges of a male-dominated field. The film examines how Ruth Bader Ginsburg's work as a lawyer for the ACLU's Women's Rights Project, as a professor, and as an appellate judge influenced her career and society. How did her groundbreaking arguments in the 1970s on gender discrimination cases change the law and the lives of men and women? And how does her work on the Supreme Court for 27 years reflect her vision of gender equality? "What can I achieve as a single person?" It's a good thing that Ruth Bader Ginsburg didn't ask herself this question. At a time when women were not allowed to study or work, let alone become a lawyer, she fought her way through unstoppably - as a woman, mother and Jew. For those who do not yet know the most fascinating female judge in the world and also for those who already have great admiration for her work: This biography is told exclusively through photos and video footage of and with her. The result is an immediate, authentic, emotional and captivating portrayal. This impressive collage serves as an inspiration and is hugely important not only to appreciate the current laws, but also to fight for them to be preserved and improved. A tribute and reminder that even a single person with great commitment can bring about lasting historical change." (Sooner curator Ayla Yildiz)
