Girl Talk

Institute History

  • 2020 Sundance Documentary Film Grant

Description

Filmed over four years, Girl Talk follows five teenage girls on a top ranked debate team on their quest to be the best in the United States. In the cutthroat world of high school debate, these young women navigate the everyday challenges of teenage life while fighting against sexist double standards. As the debaters gain confidence and find their own voices, their struggles mirror the national fight for equality in our nation’s political corridors.
