The Next Generation of Political Leaders - a podcast by WNYC Studios

The documentary “Boys State” follows more than a thousand teenage boys in Texas as they participate in a weeklong program of mock elections sponsored by the American Legion. Filmmakers Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine capture political impulses from a wide spectrum. Like many elections, the suspense builds to the very end.

— Raphaela Neihausen and Thom Powers
