Amanda McBaine & Jesse Moss Spotlight “A Better Politics” With ‘Girls State’ – Contenders TV: Doc + Unscripted


Fimmakers Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss discuss spotlighting "a better politics" in the Apple TV+ documentary Girls State.

In reality, in spite of the political polarization that defines the U.S. today, the situation at Missouri Girls State was altogether different. I think it’s a trope, actually, and they’re really interested to hear from people whose politics are different than their own,” Moss said on a panel with McBaine at Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted awards-season event. Particularly bearing in mind what McBaine terms “a representation problem in politics,” with women making up less than 30% of Congress, it’s spending time with subjects like those showcased in Girls State that gives the filmmakers hope for the future.
