The true story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to be appointed to the prestigious American Supreme Court. On The Basis Of Sex follows Ginsburg’s career from her early days at Harvard (and the sexual prejudice she encountered there) to her career defining cases of the early 1970’s. British star Felicity Jones was unfairly overlooked last Oscar season for her powerfull central performance.  Intelligent and thought provoking, especially when you consider the modern American political climate.
