Hello. What do you imagine American democracy might look like in the hands of teenage girls? That's the subject of new documentary Girls State, which follows 500 young female leaders as they vie for positions including governor and seats on the Supreme Court. Also in this edition is a look at a region where people regularly live into their 80s and 90s (without access to regular healthcare), plus there's footage showing Notre-Dame's remarkable transformation five years after a devastating fire. See you next Friday! | |
