At a time when gender recognition is on the headlines of the media outlets, here comes a film that will make everyone reflect: On the Basis of Sex.
Starring Felicity Jones, the film recreates part of the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the justice of the US Supreme Court who devoted her career to the defense of women's rights.
The magistrate, who is a true celebrity among young feminists today at 85, was one of the first to impose a gender approach in the Justice world, a universe traditionally dominated by a macho perspective.
Leder, an unstoppable filmmaker
It is important to mention that Mimi Leder is in front of the film, one of the few female names at the head of major projects in Hollywood.
The director of Deep Impact, Pay it Forward and The Leftovers has been breaking paradigms for decades in an industry where power is mostly dominated by men.
But in times of "Me too", Leder doubles the bet and surprises again with a truly inspiring biopic.
