America 250 Movie Series: On the Basis of Sex

The America 250 Movies Series continues with On the Basis of Sex, a 2018 American biographical legal drama based on the life and early cases of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As a young wife, mother and lawyer Ruth Bader Ginsburg battles the U.S. Supreme Court for gender equality and women's rights. She works with the ACLU to argue cases on behalf of both men and women, demonstrating that discrimination "on the basis of sex" is unconstitutional. Her trailblazing work paved the way for her to become the second woman to serve as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
