Film Synopsis: People call Jamal Holtz the future mayor (or governor) of D.C. At 26 he is a warm, extroverted, “old soul,” passionately dedicated to establishing Washington D.C. as the United States’ newest state. “51st STATE” is a short film that explores the emerging national issue of D.C. statehood from the personal perspective of one of its youngest Gen Z leaders - set against the overlooked cultural backdrop of our capital city and a deep yet virtually unknown crack in our democracy.
