Girls State

Directed by Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine, the Apple Original Films Documentary feature, Girls State premieres on April 5th.

Today Apple Original Films unveiled the trailer for the riveting new documentary feature, “Girls State.”

THE DOCUMENTARY

“Girls State” follows 500 teenage girls from across Missouri as they gather for a week-long immersion in an elaborate laboratory of democracy, where they build a government from the ground up, campaign for office and form a Supreme Court to weigh the most divisive issues of the day. In the documentary the country is now deeper into democratic crisis, with civil discourse and electoral politics increasingly fragile under ever more extreme political polarization. As questions of race and gender equality in a representational democracy reach a fever pitch, these young women confront the complicated paths women must navigate to build political power. Following a distinctly female perspective and filled with teenage insecurity, biting humor and a yearning for true friendship, the young leaders of “Girls State” win hearts and minds—not just elections.
