RBG (2018)

We went to see this movie to escape the oppressive (and early) heat.  This documentary about both the life and career of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is well worth seeing.  The backbone of the movie is related to her own personal experience of discrimination as a woman, and then, as a young lawyer (as well as wife and mother), how she systematically and thoughtfully went about making the argument to the US Supreme Court on six occasions that to treat men and women differently was inherently discriminatory.  I was less aware of that aspect of her life than any other portrayed, and yet in many ways, it changed the course of options for women after these 1970's decisions were made.  Lots to still do, of course, but she pointed out the glaring inconsistencies and the lack of equal protection under the law.  I loved the scenes with her husband, with her grandchildren, and her family's views of her.  She is shier than I would have thought.  Her husband was the perfect choice for her, he obviously put her career in the place that it belongs, but I did not know that he had cancer as a law student, and almost died.  It all could have been very different, so thankfully he made it. 
The bottom line is that she is an icon and everyone should watch this.
