Apple Original Films recently unveiled the trailer for the riveting new documentary feature, Girls State. The film will be available on Apple TV+ on April 5!
SYNOPSIS: 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 Girls State, 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.
An Apple Original Film hailing from Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim’s Concordia Studio and Mile End Films, Girls State is directed and produced by award-winning filmmakers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine.
