Wednesday, March 27, 7:00 p.m. | What would American democracy look like in the hands of teenage girls? A political coming-of-age story and a stirring reimagination of what it means to govern, GIRLS STATE follows young female leaders—from wildly different backgrounds across Missouri—as they navigate an immersive experiment to build a government from the ground up. Fresh from it’s Sundance Film Festival premiere, GIRLS STATE received universal acclaim, as “undeniably heartwarming and hilarious” (RogerEbert.com), “compelling” (The Guardian), “fascinating” (IndieWire), and “exuberantly inspiring” (The Daily Beast). Doc10, Chicago’s only all-documentary film festival, showcasing the year’s best nonfiction films, runs May 2–5.
