Synopsis

ASK DR. RUTH is a revelatory look at renowned sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Petite in stature, but huge of heart and mettle, Dr. Ruth’s lively and direct approach to talking about sex and relationships defined a generation, and gave a voice to many men and women who struggled to speak out and be heard. But this is only half the story. From her youth escaping the Holocaust on the Kindertransport, to her stint as a sniper in Israel’s war for independence, to her ground-breaking television career, ASK DR. RUTH is a surprising, funny and emotional look at a unique force of nature we think we all know, but will only grow to love more once her whole story has been told.
