1K with Julie Cohen: Making the documentary "RBG"

1K: The 1,000 Second Interview Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Julie Cohen, co-director of the Award-nominated documentary “RBG.” It's the first documentary about a sitting Supreme Court Justice. From archival home movies to exclusive footage of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg killing it in the gym, it offers a look into her life that you won’t find anywhere else.

In her thousand seconds with us, Cohen discusses the challenge of documenting a spotlight-averse subject, RBG’s unlikely friendship with the late Justice Antonin Scalia, and the nerve-wracking moment they showed Justice Ginsburg a Saturday Night Live clip of comedian Kate McKinnon’s wacky impersonation (resulting in one of the most endearing moments in documentary film history).
