We have chosen five Apple TV Releases in April 2024 and added trailers from Apple TV!
Girls State – 2024
This is a documentary that takes a look at how American Democracy would be like if it was run completely by teenage girls.
500 girls all from different backgrounds from Missouri gather together for a 7-day experiment whereby they build a complete government and even form a supreme court. The girls have to address all the usual issues that any government would do, and with these girls, one of the main issues is the laws relating to abortion, along with racial and gender issues.
It is a very interesting experiment to examine how this group of teenagers approach the management of a Country compared with how the current government handles the day-to-day business. A fascinating experience.
Franklin – Limited Series – 2024
Michael Douglas stars as Benjamin Franklin in this new drama series. With the American independence being in jeopardy, Franklin embarks on a top-secret mission to France in December of 1776. The series goes into great detail of what is truly the biggest gamble of Franklin’s career.
70 year old Franklin has no diplomatic experience at all, but he somehow manages to convince a monarchy to support America’s democratic experiment. His personal skills and personality he managed to outwit British spies, informers and various other hurdles and formed the France-American alliance along with a peace treaty with England. A skilled operator for sure.
The highly successful mission lasted eight years and was for certain the most outstanding achievement of Franklin’s lifetime, and some experts say, the greatest achievement ever in the history of America.
