A24 X CU Boulder Screening of "Boys State"

Join us on Thursday, September 24th at 7 PM as the award-winning film company behind “Lady Bird” and “Moonlight,” A24 is putting together a free, virtual screening for students and faculty on campus!

The film is an award-winning documentary that was just released in partnership with Apple. It took home the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at Sundance this year. The film takes a wildly entertaining and continually revealing immersive look into a week-long annual program in which a thousand Texas high school seniors gather for an elaborate mock exercise: building their own state government. This film is a catalyst for important conversations, facilitates healthy debate, and helps viewers of all walks of life and political backgrounds engage and connect with one another. You can view the trailer here and a number of wonderful writeups surrounding the film below:
