    RELEASE DATE: August 14
    DIRECTORS: Jesse Moss and Amanda McBain
    Every year, 1,100 boys head to Austin, TX. Only one will be elected Governor. Watch the trailer for Boys State, a new documentary film coming to Apple TV+ August 14.
    The sensational winner of the Grand Jury Prize for documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Boys State is a wildly entertaining and continually revealing immersion into a week-long annual program in which a thousand Texas high school seniors gather for an elaborate mock exercise: building their own state government. Filmmakers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine closely track the escalating tensions that arise within a particularly riveting gubernatorial race, training their cameras on unforgettable teenagers like Ben, a Reagan-loving arch-conservative who brims with confidence despite personal setbacks, and Steven, a progressive-minded child of Mexican immigrants who stands by his convictions amidst the sea of red. In the process, they have created a complex portrait of contemporary American masculinity, as well as a microcosm of our often dispiriting national political divisions that nevertheless manages to plant seeds of hope. Apple and A24 present Boys State.

    I actually thought this was a mockumentary until I googled Boys State and wow. It's a real thing. Boys and girls (there are girls ones too) participate in structured mock systems of government and it varies from state to state as to what the program is but it sometimes includes military training, electing government officials, passing bills, mock trials etc.

    Seeing boys state be taken so seriously in this makes me laugh.
    At my boys state we declared war on another city and invaded them in a massive pillow fight, passed a city ordinance that anyone who came into our area who wasn't from our area had to scootch in their butts until they left our city, and attempted to secede from the rest of the organization but couldn't get enough votes. Our state legislature didn't pass a single bill and our governor ate chips with his friends every day. But it helped me get into West Point so it was worth it.

    At my Texas Boys State we had a full blown pillow war. I'm talking two whole floors of the Jester dorm, the big guys using mattresses as shield walls or battering rams, and all the screaming to make a playful game as serious as possible. And you can bet that when the noise complaints starting racking up and various officials were sent to find out who was making all the noise, we vanished into thin air. I think out of 40 of us only 3 were caught, and they never snitched.

And it was everything like what was described in that video right there. Except we had 150 (2013, 100 2014) people instead of 1100. Also it sounds like in the Texas Boys State they talk actual politics. In the Idaho one we focused more on the political process, so while our mock court stuff was based on real cases, our bills for the congress and city councils and stuff were like "It shall be required to sing at least one verse of one song in the shower. Anyone found to not do this shall have their towel privileges revoked."
    For reals. One of the best times of my entire life. One of the big reasons I got into humanitarian development (my professional field).

    Wow, I’m sooo looking forward to this! I was elected Lt. Governor in 1989 for the Alabama Boys State when I was in high school. I then went on to attend Boys Nation in D. C. where I ran for Vice President as a “Federalists” but did not win.

    I did Florida's boys state, and the first couple days sucked because it was essentially around 10 hours of lectures, but about halfway through the week we got to go to the Capitol building and do mock Congress stuff. That along with stuff like the talent show and the elections (as well as the amazing citizens of Army County, Glover City), made it one of the most memorable weeks of my life.

    I wish they would have used Buckeye Boy State. It's the largest (1,300), and is the most comprehensive, even being the inspiration for a similar program in Israel. Boy State was amazing! I wish I could go back and do it all over again! It's not as bad as it might seem. It's really just a big camp, but there are some seriously motivated people who go, and teenage hijinks inevitably ensues. But you learn about each level of government, the caucus process, the primary and voting process, writing local, county, and state party platforms, circulating petitions, running campaigns, administering the law. You have to take a bar exam to be a lawyer or hold a judicial position, you have to cite case law in hearings and trials, etc. It's really a lot of fun. A little militaristic, but it's run/paid for by the American Legion, so that makes sense. But it was a fantastic nine days!
