What would American democracy look like in the hands of exclusively women? What would it look like in the hands of teenage girls? A follow-up to the award-winning “Boys State,” the filmmakers return to follow 500 young female leaders across Missouri as they engage with an immersive experiment to build a government from the ground up. “Girls State” will make its streaming debut on Friday, April 5, on Apple TV+. You can watch with a 7-Day Free Trial of Apple TV+.
About 'Girls State'
The Apple Original Film makes its streaming debut after its 2024 Sundance Film Festival debut. The film is the follow-up from directors Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine, whose 2020 documentary “Boys State,” which tracked the journey of 1,100 teenage boys from across Texas as they came together to build a representative government from the ground up, won the Sundance Documentary Competition Grand Jury Prize.
In the follow-up, Moss and McBaine tracks 500 teenage girls from across Missouri as they gather for a week-long immersive and elaborate democracy lab, where they build a government from the ground up, campaign for office, and form a Model Supreme Court.
As questions of race and gender equality emerge and reach a boiling point, the girls must “confront the complicated paths women must navigate to build political power.”
