Sinopsis:
El sensacional ganador del Gran Premio del Jurado de Documental en el Sundance de este año Film Festival, Boys State es una inmersión remendamente entretenida y reveladora en un programa anual de una semana en el que mil estudiantes de último año de secundaria de Texas se reúnen para un elaborado ejercicio simulado: construir su propio gobierno estatal. Cineastas Jesse Moss y Amanda McBaine siguen de cerca las crecientes tensiones que surgen dentro de un particularmente fascinante carrera de gobernador, enfocando sus cámaras en adolescentes inolvidables como Ben, un archiconservador amante de Reagan que rebosa confianza a pesar de contratiempos, y Steven, un hijo progresista de inmigrantes mexicanos que apoya sus convicciones en medio del mar rojo. En el proceso, han creado un retrato complejo de la masculinidad estadounidense contemporánea, así como un microcosmos de nuestra a menudo desalentadora divisiones políticas nacionales que sin embargo logra plantar semillas de esperanza.

The Cast

Steven Garza, Steven Garza comes from Houston, Texas. He is the child of Mexican immigrants and attended a public high school. As he says in the film, his mother was undocumented for a time. She is now a
legal resident of the United States. Inspired by Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016 (when he was fourteen), Steven volunteered on political campaigns in Texas, and became a leader of Texas Student
Democrats. “Politics is my passion,” says Steven. His leadership role model is Napoleon Bonaparte. A student of Napoleon’s life and military campaigns, he invokes him frequently. An underdog challenger,
whose background and political views, place him squarely outside the mainstream at Boys State, Steven rises brilliantly by calling the Boys to their highest ideals. Steven is now a student at the University of Texas at Austin.

Robert MacDougall, Robert MacDougall is from Austin, Texas. Robert served as a United States Senate Page in Washington D.C. the summer before Boys State. He graduated in 2019 from St. Andrew’s Episcopal
School where he served as Student Body Vice President, having been elected in 2018, a month prior to filming Boys State. Robert was also the co-captain of his high school football team during his senior year. Robert is currently a Cadet enrolled at the United States Military Academy at West Point, fulfilling a dream he has had since a young age. He is expected to graduate from West Point in 2023 as an Army Office with the rank of Second Lieutenant. Robert is an active student and follower of
U.S. politics and U.S. history. He believes that all young men and women should find a way to serve their country following graduation from high school or college, knowing the definition of service can vary from person to person. Robert also has a strong interest in the business world, having worked as an intern on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. At Boys State, Robert competes for the Nationalist Party nomination for Governor with the motto, “Go big or go home.”

Ben Feinstein, Ben Feinstein grew up in San Antonio with his mom Karen, a doctor, and his step-dad. Ben is a double-amputee, the result of a bacterial meningitis infection contracted when he was two years
old. “It’s my normal,” he says. A Ronald Reagan doll on his bookshelf is a testament to his political precocity and somewhat conservative views. Ben is a self-professed politics junkie and experienced in debate and model UN. Ben’s disability prevents him from serving in the military, so he has set his sights on intelligence work with the CIA or the FBI. His ambition extends to Boys State, where he arrives intending to run for Governor. Circumstances force him to question himself and quickly recalibrate his ambitions. Late in our story he makes a brilliant but controversial tactical decision that influences the outcome of the election. Ben is now a student at Southern Methodist University.

René Otero, René Otero is an outsider, to Texas and to Boys State. A recent transplant from Chicago, he finds himself one of a handful of African American statesmen among a largely White and politically conservative group. René is a captivating orator who grabs the attention of the Nationalist Party with a galvanizing speech, but he must struggle to hold onto power by uniting a politically divided party and fending off an impeachment threat. “I’m gonna keep my job if it’s the last thing I do,” he declares. His success and alliance with underdog Steven Garza puts him and his party on a collision course with Ben Feinstein and the Federalist party. René is currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin.
