When it comes to maturity, age is just a number. Girl’s State all about life experience, and being sagacious and with those emotions. This debate is not just confined to this place—it goes across the globe. If we all work on personal growth while concentrating on what matters most or pays attention to important things in our lives; this would enable society at large to grow. We need to prioritize this more so for all the wiz kids out there.
Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine’s ‘Girl’s State’ follows the high school girls from Missouri as they enter into a mock government program which lasts an entire week. They delve into democracy, governance of a nation, and other nooks and crannies thereof. In 2020, boys from Texas experienced something similar when directors staged American Legion Boys State.
These are summer camps for juniors who will be in their senior year next fall that teach leadership and citizenship skills. In each state of America, the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary hold these programs with different ones for boys and girls respectively. These setups split participants into factions like cities or towns where they are assigned membership of one political party of two which may not conform with known political parties.
There are elections by selection held to run the pretend government itself. Citizens in these “cities” can vote for local officials such as governors and lieutenant-governors including county representatives or even state representatives too among others. Voting is not only limited here but also there exist other posts such as court juries as well as judges but chosen differently.
At the very beginning of your streaming you see how relevant it is to talk about today’s society problems. You can’t brush aside these issues because they won’t disappear by themselves; instead they’ll always crop up in discussions suggesting possible answers that go beyond situation specifics discussed here in program court juries that cover vital subjects like climate change, privacy, abortion laws, gun rights legislation, LGBTQ rights, as well as finance and Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard.
Another strong participant Cecilia Bartin describes the idea that only guys can be loud and opinionated in politics as a stereotype. Women are often silenced when they speak out. Girls often feel like they have to pretend to be somebody else just to fit in, Cecilia says. Moreover, she criticizes society for judging girls based on their dress or bodies even if it’s their right to dress how they please.
Girl’s state with curves shouldn’t be judged harshly about their bodies. She also notes that there is a difference between boys speaking up against something wrong and girls doing the same and being ignored or silenced most of the time. That notion of girls’ silence and submission because they are females is obsolete now. Let every person freely express his/her thoughts without any fear.
Women’s empowerment was mentioned by Brooke Taylor, another teenager involved in this project. It tends to send a mixed message even though showing support for each other is great sometimes . Girls aren’t inherently weaklings who need us all the time. Instead of assuming all of them require our assistance we should try finding those persons who do need it genuinely .
She really makes you stop and think: Brooke’s words in the documentary. Moreover, this documentary gets into some heavy subjects such as law, racial conflict, and human behavior. People have sometimes wondered if the Constitution is still applicable to the world today.
It also discusses the predicament of black people in a white-dominated society. The comment by Tochi that ‘these girls come from tiny towns where I might be the first black person they’ve ever met’ forces one to think about what it means to be a member of minority groups in such environments.
Girl’s State is not just any political or societal film; it is more about self discovery and uncovering oneself. At last, hundreds of girls now understand themselves better than before. It is an idea-enriched story which gives you fresh ideas and new perspectives through which you can view the universe. It’s fun, captivating & speaks on women’s lives being tough.
