RBG @ Jim Santy Auditorium (Park City Library Building)
Friday & Saturday → 8 PM | Sunday → 6 PM (panel to follow)
The documentary “RBG” is this weekend’s Park City Film Series selection.
At the age of 85, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become a truly unexpected pop culture icon – all while developing a breathtaking legal legacy. RBG is a documentary which takes you on the unique personal journey (called a “fist-bumping, crowd-pleasing doc” by Indiewire) of this quiet warrior and her rise to the nation’s highest court.
On Sunday, there will be a post-film panel with Utah Supreme Court Justice Paige Peterson, University of Utah Law Professor Erika George, and ACLU of Utah Legislative and Policy Counsel Marina Lowe. KPCW News Director Leslie Thatcher will moderate.
