How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A spirited documentary that finds genuine drama and comedy in teenage boys navigating real political processes, revealing how quickly idealism collides with ambition and strategy. It's both an affectionate portrait of adolescent earnestness and a sharp, often funny mirror held up to the messiness of democratic participation.
