Since 1937, the American Legion has hosted Boys State in every state but Hawaii, a competitive, exclusive summer program for politically engaged high school boys. Apple TV’s new documentary Boys State, directed by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, takes a deep-dive into the 2018 Texas Boys State. The documentary focuses on four boys in particular, each coming from politically diverse backgrounds and with different ambitions. First divided into political parties (either the Federalists or the Nationalists), the boys then build their government by voting on party platforms and running for office.
