Despite what her name might suggest, the documentary “Ruth: Judge Ginsburg in Her Own Words” does not tell the story of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s career only through her words, but puts her words first, according to video and audio clips: a speech she gave as a law professor on the Equal Rights Amendment , its process of confirmation of the Supreme Court, its arguments before and from the court, to offer a review of its ideals.
Few things here will seem new to those who paid attention to Ginsburg’s career or watched the Oscar-nominated documentary “RBG” (2018). But the director, Freida Lee Mock, returns to the concept that replacement is done in stages. Jennifer Carroll Foy, who attended the Virginia Military Institute after the Supreme Court ruling in Ginsburg, written through the Supreme Court in the U. S. case against Virginia, led to the school’s opening of women, and Lilly Ledbetter, who lost a dispute over wage discrimination lawsuits in court. but whose case (and Ginsburg’s dissent) paved the way for Lilly Ledbetter’s Fair Pay Act that followed.
While it would probably not be a bad time to pay attention to Judge Ginsburg, the documentary, which first aired in 2019 and ended last year, is published late enough to require an update. Judge Ginsburg’s death in September is identified only by a “memory” name card; when Irin Carmon, screenwriter of “Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” says Ginsburg is “in a wonderful way,” it’s hard not to shrink. And full of valuable details, the documentary has the misfortune to arrive after countless more reviews.
Ruth: Judge Ginsburg in her own words Duration: 1 hour 29 minutes In cinemas.
