The death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has renewed interest in her life and career, and an article in the ABA Journal reports that two films based on her life will be re-released to theaters. Focus Features will re-release “On the Basis of Sex,” which begins in 1956 with Ginsburg starting her first year as a student at Harvard Law School and then proceeds to capture the difficulties and discrimination faced by women attempting to enter the legal profession at that time. Magnolia Pictures will re-release the documentary “RBG,” which chronicles the life of Ginsburg as a justice, weaving together interviews with her children and former clerks to tell her story. Both films originally were released in 2018.
