High school students are accepted into the program, where they are split into two parties that run political campaigns for several positions, including the top spot of Governor. As the titular new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le TV  film by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss opens, we see several famous politicians and pundits who have partaken in the event, from Bill Clinton and Cory Booker to Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Attendance doesn\u2019t guarantee success on the same level as these men, but if this entertaining documentary is any indication, it will definitely prepare one for the highs and lows of the American political system.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>The young men (it\u2019s all male, though there is also a Girls State) are split into two political parties, the Federalists and the Nationalists. These parties have no pre-existing positions defined; the blanks will be filled in by the parties and their chosen leadership. While some of the members run for other positions, \u201cBoys State\u201d primarily follows the state district chairs and the candidates for Governor. To be placed on the gubernatorial ballot, one needs 30 signatures that must be obtained by pounding the pavement and pitching to potential voters. If no one from a party achieves over 50%, the two highest candidates will participate in a run-off. Eventually, the last men standing are Steven Garza for the Nationalists and Eddy Proietti Conti for the Federalists.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking this will be one of those <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> where the kids show they can be bigger and better than the adults who run the system they are emulating, \u201cBoys State\u201d disabuses you of that notion with its first image, which bears a quote from George Washington. Washington warns that political parties can be used by \u201cundisciplined men\u201d to \u201csubvert the power of the people and usurp for themselves the reins of government.\u201d As the film progresses, the two originally undefined parties have become left and right-wing based and, since this is Texas, the big issue is guns and the 2nd Amendment. Washington\u2019s statement starts to play out amongst the candidates and their parties, albeit in a far less sinister fashion than real-life. After all, what happens in Boys State stays in Boys State.<\/p>\n<p>Steven and Eddy are guided by their district chairs, Ren\u00e9 Otero and Ben Feinstein, respectively. Feinstein is a conservative who loves Reagan. He\u2019s also a very good spin man who happens to be a double amputee. Otero is a Black guy originally from Chicago who confides to the camera that he\u2019s \u201cnever seen so many White folks before!\u201d Both are formidable opponents who are boisterous and completely committed to their candidates. They both seem older than their teenaged years would indicate, especially when they have to control a room filled with their fellow 17-year olds.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Moss and McBaine wisely focus on Otero, Feinstein, and Garza, but they also allow for a few other memorable characters to offer up commentary, some of which is thematically relevant. Robert MacDougal is another Nationalist candidate who runs off against Garza. He\u2019s so impressed by his opponent\u2019s ability to command the crowd that he briefly considers forfeit before allowing party delegates to vote for a winner. MacDougal\u2019s campaign strategy is simple: Since the room he\u2019s reading is conservative, he lies about his own pro-choice ideology. The conclusion he draws after losing is as darkly ominous as it is true: \u201cSometimes you can&#8217;t win on what you believe in your heart,\u201d he says to the camera. \u201cIt&#8217;s a morally questionable thing to lie in politics.\u201d He then imparts the lesson he\u2019s learned. \u201cIt gave me a new appreciation for why politicians lie to get in office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like its subject, \u201cBoys State\u201d is a microcosm of real world politics. It doesn\u2019t go unnoticed that Garza, the son of Mexican immigrants, and the African-American Otero align with the same party, nor is it a surprise when racist propaganda is used against Otero, who is\u00a0irritated yet unfazed. Though he\u2019s a strong speaker who really connects with the people he\u2019s trying to win over, Garza is still subject to his outside gun control activism bleeding into his Boys State campaign. After all, this is Texas. Yet his willingness to listen to anyone who\u2019ll discuss issues with him, even if they disagree, is noble in that \u201cthey go low, we go high\u201d philosophy that doesn\u2019t work in the real world. Whether it works here, I\u2019ll leave you to discover. Suffice it to say, he leaves the most lasting impression on the viewer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoys State\u201d is one of those movies that will play differently based on both your political affiliation and whether you see the glass as half-empty or half-full. The filmmakers document the events in such a way that you\u2019re unsure if you should be terrified or hopeful; the result is solely based on how you process their matter-of-fact chronicling of the story. If you are like me, the outcome of the final election will be practically anti-climactic for you. What happens next, however, is moving in very unexpected ways. The entire point of the American Legion\u2019s 85-year experiment seems to be bringing young people from all walks of life together and allowing them to learn about each other while experiencing a group event. \u201cBoys State,\u201d which won this year&#8217;s Sundance U.S.\u00a0Documentary Grand Jury Prize, emulates this experiment as well, allowing us to be equally educated as we watch. You won\u2019t forget any of the young men who populate this film, nor will this be the last you\u2019ll hear from them.<\/p>\n<p><em>Now available on AppleTV .\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Odie Henderson\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/odie-henderson\/featured_odie_vienna.jpg\" title=\"Odie Henderson\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Odie_Henderson\"><\/span>Odie Henderson<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Odie &#8220;Odienator&#8221; Henderson has spent over 33 years working in Information <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a>.
