A new documentary, directed by Emmy-award-winning directors Amanda McBaines and Jesse Moss, looks into the decision-making of 500 civically engaged teen girls in Missouri who go through the process of electing their peers to different branches of government. This follows the 2020 documentary “Boys State,” which won them their Primetime Emmy, following teen boys in Texas building their democratically-elected government. For this week’s FilmWeek feature, we talk to Amanda McBaines and Jesse Moss about their second look into teen-led governments and the takeaways they got from their subjects in ‘Girls State.’
“Girls State” releases on Apple TV+ on Friday, April 5.
