Next up, a documentary that screened at the Sundance Film Festival back in January, and which is now on Apple TV+:

Boys State

Directed by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, Boys State covers the 2018 iteration of the American Legion’s annual experiment in self-governance.

Synopsis:

A thousand 17-year-old boys from Texas join together to build a representative government from the ground up.

Focusing on 4 particular teens, Boys State is a critical examination of our current political system, and how it is seen by those who will be participating in it in the future.
