From filmmakers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine, the sensational winner of the Grand Jury Prize for documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Boys State is a wildly entertaining and continually revealing immersion into a week-long annual program in which over a thousand Texas high school seniors gather for an elaborate mock exercise: building their own state government.
See the documentary that has Senator Cory Booker, Cindy McCain, Kerry Kennedy, Congressman Joaquin Castro, Academy Award Nominee Cynthia Erivo calling it a “must see.” Follow the escalating tensions that arise within a particularly riveting gubernatorial race and meet unforgettable teenagers like Ben, a Reagan-loving arch-conservative who brims with confidence despite personal setbacks, and Steven, a progressive-minded child of Mexican immigrants who stands by his convictions amidst the sea of red.
