Citizen Nation

Chasing Victory

Teenage contestants from across the United States embark on a year-long civics competition. Wyoming's teams embody the state's spirit. Immigrant students in Las Vegas rally for competition. Richmond, Va., has the team to beat. 

In the Fray

The pressure builds as students tackle the first round of competition. They must answer judges' questions in the style of Congressional hearings, showing a thorough understanding of democracy and the ways it connects to their lives today. 

The Hustle

Stakes are high as teams prepare for statewide civics competitions; only the winners will advance to the final round in Washington, D.C. Students must balance personal challenges and tricky team dynamics, pushing themselves to the limit.
