In 2020, documentary-makers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine put Gen Z politics in the spotlight with their acclaimed film Boys State. Focused on a nationwide US political initiative started in the 1930s, which immerses highschoolers in democratic processes, Boys State followed 1000 teenage boys who gather at a week-long summer camp in Texas to form a mock government. The feature won the prestigious Sundance Grand Jury Documentary Prize.
Four years later, with the US on the precipice of an election, Moss and McBaine have returned with a timely follow-up, Girls State. Set in the Midwestern state of Missouri, Girls State examines an equivalent scenario at a girls' camp.
In Girls State, 500 teenage girls vie for positions including Governor and seats on the Supreme Court. As they begin to set out their political beliefs and ambitions, the participants grapple with the responsibilities and moral questions that come with wielding political power – as well as coming face-to-face with the limits of political power and the ingrained social structures that dictate those powers.
Though Moss and McBaine had covered similar territory with their original film, they say the rampant "hyperpolarisation" in the US drove them to make a female-focused follow-up.
"I think in 2018, we were looking for ways to help us understand the polarisation of the country… understand why our country had gotten to the place it was in," McBaine tells BBC Culture. "We were all pretty traumatised by the extreme political situation that we were in – left, right, whatever."
"Now and then, I think we're all asking ourselves, what is our political future?" adds Moss.
While Boys State was filmed in The Lone Star State, Moss and McBaine chose Missouri for Girls State, because, having a votership that is spread across the political spectrum, it contains so many of the "contradictions" that permeate the current US political landscape. There was also a practical reason: for the first time ever, both the state's boys' and girls' camps were occurring on the same campus.
"Missouri is [sometimes] derisively [called] a flyover state [a derogatory name for states in the US people pass by but would never visit], but it actually embodies the same [contrasts as Texas]," says Moss. "It has [Republican Senator] Josh Hawley, and it's got Cori Bush, a member of the Squad [a group of progressive Democrats] from St Louis. And it's got everything in between. It's got rural, suburban, it's got these big cities.
"Girls who come from these towns of 300, they've never met a young black woman before."
Making Girls State even more timely, weeks after Moss and McBaine began shooting the film in 2022, a leaked US Supreme Court document suggested that the constitutional right to an abortion was about to be overruled. As the Girls State Supreme Court was hearing an abortion case, while participants mulled the implications of the leak, those very rights were being questioned in the real world, in real-time. Giving the film even more relevance, days after filming wrapped, the Supreme Court officially overturned its 1973 Roe v Wade decision. According to Moss, this generation-defining issue weighed heavily during filming.
"I feel like that was everything everywhere, all at once," he says, referring to the chaotic atmosphere for camp participants following the leak. "We've never had a Supreme Court opinion leak, in my lifetime at least… [it felt like] a sword hanging over their heads."
In the film, argues McBaine, "you see the awkwardness of that encounter, but you also see the promise of that encounter".
