I en alder af 84 har den amerikanske højesteretsdommer Ruth Bader Ginsburg oparbejdet en imponerende juridisk arv, samtidig med at hun er blevet et uventet popkulturikon. Men uden en endelig Ginsburg-biografi har historien om den lille, rolige krigers vej til USA’s højesteret været stort set ukendt, selv for nogle af hendes største fans – indtil nu. RBG er en øjenåbnende dokumentar, der udforsker Ginsburgs ekstraordinære liv, karriere og enorme betydning for kvinders ligestilling i USA i dag.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn. She earned her bachelor’s degree at the Cornell University and later went to law school at Harvard. Both she and her husband became attorneys but she specialized in sexual equality. Ruth Bader represented an enormous amount of cases for both women and men experiencing inequality within culture and society. This remarkable attorney represented such cases at the Supreme Court for a long time before she herself became a member of the Supreme Court. This film is not only a reminder of her incredible legal legacy. It presents also an interesting point of view to her unexpected fame in popular culture. Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s nickname in the popular press is 'Notorious RBG', as a playful pun on the name of the rapper The Notorious B.I.G.
