This hit doc out of Sundance asks: what would American democracy look like in the hands of teenage girls?
As a followup to their 2020 hit Boys State, filmmakers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine traveled to Missouri in 2022 to meet a few of the 500 female high school delegates of the annual mock government program. The film spotlights seven young women; demographically diverse, they are immensely watchable and surprisingly adept at articulating their ideas. Opinionated, but with a mature self-awareness, they have palpable concerns about issues such as climate change, gun violence and a woman's right to choose. Friendship, competition, disappointment and resilience power this engaging and prescient portrait of young people coming of age in this political moment.
