Grab some popcorn 🍿 and your thinking cap 🧠, movie night is approaching!

In collaboration with College Independents, A24 and Apple Films are bringing a virtual screening of their Sundance award-winning documentary 'Boys State' to campus at 8:00 PM EST on Thursday 24 September!

BE WARNED: the RSVP link will be closed 24 hours prior to screening, so be sure to sign up before 8:00 Wednesday night!

~~~

Examining the intersection of politics, gender, and coming-of-age, 'Boys State' is an immersive look into the week-long program in which a thousand Texan boys gather for an elaborate mock exercise: building their own state government.

For anyone interested in politics or American society, this documentary shines a fascinating light on the hopes, crises, and contradictions of modern America.
