Boys State

It was a fascinating film to watch because at first I thought it was going to be your cliche, kids will be able to build a stronger and more just government than what we have now. However, all of the issues that the boys were having with the opposing parties were direct parallels that occur in real life. For example, the POC candidates were being targeted due to their ethnicity and race, which unfortunately is a routine tactic used by people in real politics. Since the film’s setting was in Texas, I liked that the spotlight was on the issue on gun violence and rights. It was interesting to watch how knowledgeable the kids were and how their personal lives were affected by the contention.
