On May 1, come to the Marlene Meyerson JCC in Manhattan to see “RBG” before it arrives in the theaters.
After the screening, Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner will interview the directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West. They will discuss the making of the film and how a Jewish lawyer ended up revolutionizing gender imbalance in America and becoming an internet icon in the process.
For Friends of the Forward there will be a pre-screening reception and a chance to meet some of the people behind the movie.
