Summary:
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, “Boys State” is an 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. From AP: “not only a portrait of some serious-minded youths, but how their world views, morals and political beliefs have been molded by what’s happening in the country.”
