Film Portrays Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Documentary film being shown on February 7

Press release

On Friday, February 7, the documentary film RBG will be shown at 2:30 PM as part of the monthly First Friday Film series at The Andover Community Hub.  A documentary about the exceptional life, career, and enduring legal legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the film follows Ginsburg’s journey from her girlhood in Brooklyn to her appointment to the highest court in the land, becoming an unexpected cultural icon known fondly as “the Notorious RBG” along the way.

One review said, “This riveting, surprisingly touching documentary reveals how the quiet, intense Ginsburg became one the most iconic Supreme Court justices in American history.”

The film RBG was directed, written, edited, shot, and produced by women, and premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. It was chosen by the National Board of Review as the Best Documentary Film of 2018, and earned Academy Award nominations for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song (“I’ll Fight”).

First Friday Films are open to all, free of charge (although small donations are much appreciated), and light refreshments are served.
