seekingferretThere's only one vid I could rec this week.
colls's "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves" is a beautiful tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, zichronah livrachah.
It was one of the centerpieces of my Jews Dance in this Vidshow playlist at Vidukon this year.
The way it places the real RBG in contrast to Felicity Jones's fictionalization, the way it sets that fictionalization against Kate McKinnon's SNL version, the way it finds value in the legend of RBG and in trying to understand who the real person is, it's an astonishingly inspirational piece of art at the intersection of reality and mythmaking. The way it situates Ginsburg's accomplishments within a movement, the work of many people, without diminishing her own contributions to the movement, is so insightful. And that's a marvelous synchrony with the song, whose chorus involves the exact same seeming paradox- how can Sisters- in the plural- do it for themselves?
