CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — To honor the life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Cedar Lee Theatre will hold a special screening of "RBG."

Ginsburg, who used her position to fight gender discrimination and unify the court's liberal wing, died of complications of metastatic pancreas cancer Friday at her home in Washington, D.C. She was 87.

"RBG" is a documentary film covering Ginsburg's life and long-lasting, wide-reaching impact. The film will return to Cedar Lee on Friday. Tickets are $5 for in-person screening and $6.99 to watch in Cleveland Cinema's Virtual Screening Room.
