I gave it an 8 but I could not stomach it
Out of fairness to the documentarian I think this deserves an 8, because it is a very well-made documentary but personally, I found it impossible to watch. Some of these boys (and I know this is Texas, a very macho/conservative leaning state) make me think “this is what’s wrong with today’s GOP”. The boys who showed so much machismo seemed to fare much better than the low key, kinder & simply, from my perspective, nicer boys. I’m sure you can tell by now that I am a liberal minded individual (and am therefore glad that there are no comments available on this review) & I cannot say that it’s a not a well-made documentary but you had better have a stomach for macho, 17-year-old a-holes if you think you’re going to enjoy this. Personally, I find it unbelievable that Cory Booker & President Clinton succeeded in this ‘competition’, but maybe it’s not just the macho who survive? I can’t watch the end of it so I don’t know.
a potent mixture of hopeful and disheartening
An odd and hilarious experiment: bring together hundreds of 17-year-old Texan boys and have them create a democratic government from the ground up. The handful of boys that rise to the narrative’s surface are better characters than most any of the fictional ones in 2020. The events that follow are a potent mixture of hopeful and disheartening, as we see the foibles of the American political machine infiltrate the otherwise noble desires for goodness and equality.
