Amanda McBaine & Jesse Moss Delve Into "Girls State‪"‬ Making Media Now

    • Entrevistas de película

Host Michael Azevedo speaks with Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, the co-producers and directors of “Girls State,” a revealing and inspiring documentary follow up to their award-winning 2020 film "Boys State."
"Girls State" poses the question: What would American democracy look like in the hands of teenage girls? A political coming-of-age story and a stirring re-imagination of what it means to govern, “Girls State" follows young female leaders — from wildly different backgrounds across Missouri — as they navigate an immersive experiment to build a government from the ground up, form a Supreme Court, and debate the divisive issues of the day.
Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine have collaborated on several high profile film projects in addition to "Girls State" and "Boys State," including "The Mission," "The Overnighters," "Mayor Pete" and "The Bandit," among others. And they just so happen to be husband and wife. 

"Girls State" is currently available on Apple TV+.
