On April 5, 2024, Apple TV+ presents Girls State, a provocative and inspiring documentary by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss (II). The film asks a bold question: what would American democracy look like if it were in the hands of teenage girls?
Girls State immerses us in a unique democratic experiment, following 500 young women in Missouri. These aspiring leaders, from diverse backgrounds, set out to build a government from the ground up, involving the creation of a new governmental system, the organization of election campaigns and the establishment of a Supreme Court to debate the sensitive issues of the day. This documentary captures a critical moment when the country is grappling with a democratic crisis exacerbated by growing political polarization, a weakened civil discourse and issues of race and gender equality as never before.
Through a resolutely feminine perspective, the film explores with humor and sensitivity the challenges faced by women in the political landscape. It reveals the uncertainties of adolescence, the early stages of leadership and the birth of authentic friendships, illustrating how these young female leaders aspire to reshape the political future with hope and determination.
Girls State is an emancipation story, a coming-of-age tale and a reinvention of governance. It bears witness to the strength and resilience of young women, who, faced with the obstacles inherent in establishing female political power, ultimately win more than elections: they win hearts and minds.
