After the widely celebrated, Emmy Award-winning documentary &#8220;<em>Boys State<\/em>,&#8221; also produced by Moss, McBaine, and Concordia, made its buzzy premiere at Sundance in 2020, the inevitable question arose: What about Girls State?<\/p>\n<p>The documentary follows 500 teenage girls from across Missouri 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 &#8220;Girls State,&#8221; 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 &#8220;Girls State&#8221; win hearts and minds &#8211; not just elections.<\/p><div id=\"morty-45778729\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;In these turbulent times, we were inspired and moved by the young women we met at Missouri &#8216;<em>Girls State<\/em>,&#8217; and the stories that emerged in one, eventful week. &#8216;<em>Girls State<\/em>&#8216; is very much a &#8216;sibling&#8217; &#8211; singular and surprising but also related to &#8216;Boys State&#8217; in its prescient portrait of young people coming of age in this political moment,&#8221; said Moss and McBaine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Girls State<\/em>&#8221; is a Concordia Studio presentation of a Mile End Films production.<\/p>\n<p>Following its debut at Sundance, the ground-breaking documentary &#8220;<em>Boys State<\/em>&#8221; was broadly acclaimed, earning accolades including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special; two Critics Choice Documentary Award wins including Best Political Documentary; the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize; the SXSW Film Festival Louis Black\/Lone Star Award; and a DGA Award nomination, among many other honors.<\/p>\n<p>\r\n        <table id=\"tmdb-pro\">\r\n          <tbody>\r\n            <tr>\r\n              <td class=\"tmdb-pro-poster\" width=\"20%\" rowspan=\"3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w300_and_h450_bestv2\/\/hD1oCssH4GMGrzUljlVpydQFbGx.jpg\"><\/td>\r\n              <td>\r\n                <h3><b>Girls State<\/b><\/h3>\r\n              <\/td>\r\n            <\/tr>\r\n            <tr><td><span><b>Release:<\/b> 2024-01-18<\/span><span><b>Genre:<\/b> Documentary<\/span><span><b>Duration:<\/b> 95 mins<\/span><span><b>Budget:<\/b> $ 0<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><h5><b>Overview<\/b><\/h5><p>What would American democracy look like in the hands of teenage girls?
