    A force of nature

    Dr. Ruth is a worthy subject for a documentary. She was controversial at the time that she had her sex show, and she has an interesting life story that took her from Nazi Germany as a child (heartbreaking yet inspiring). At 90 years old, she has the energy of a 30 year old. A fun documentary that explores her impact on psychology, sexuality, and pop culture.
