On the Basis of Sex

This movie is very well done and is very thought-provoking.  It honors the recently deceased Ruth Ginsberg. It caused me to do a lot of thinking: does culture change and laws follow or the other way around?  It is the true story of Ruth Ginsburg and her fight in court for the equality of the sexes.  I  was stunned that in this revolutionary case she actually defended a man for the right to have public funds to care for his mother- usually a women's role.  But the win created precedence for women's rights and that decisions could no longer be made on the basis of sex.  There is no question that this woman changed our world; our society.  The movie will cause you to think about that.  At least it did me.  We watched it on Netflix DVD.
