24 of 24 · most liked firstA whole lot of really interesting stuff on the Sundance Film Festival lineup for 2024, but absolutely the one I'm most jazzed for is GIRLS STATE, from the directors of BOYS STATE, my favorite doc of 2020.

neutral · AI labelView post →Now more relevant than ever, “Girls State” is an inspiring documentary that shines a light on the future of American democracy through the eyes of ambitious, intelligent, and passionate young women. This political coming-of-age film (a companion piece to 2020’s “Boys State”) follows 500 high school girls from Missouri as they gather for a week-long democratic experiment where they create a government from scratch. What emerges is an empowering look at how femininity and leadership intertwine,…
