In honor of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, our friends at Magnolia Pictures have re-released the award-winning documentary, RBG, and the Triplex will be participating in the virtual screening of the film. Magnolia will be donating all of the proceeds to the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, which was co-founded by Justice Ginsburg in 1972. To watch the film and donate, please visit the Triplex website. ============================================================ Copyright © 2020 Berkshire International Film Festival, All rights reserved.
