Mike and Ken talk to Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss about their Emmy Award-nominated Boys State.  They discuss Robert, Ben, Steven, and René, the four boys at the heart of the film, as they navigate their way, at a formative stage of life, through the Texas Boys State program.  It's a film that shows winning, losing, and the lessons learned during a weeklong immersion in the cutthroat world of Boys State politics.
